[QUOTE="Ana the Ist, post: 77664876, member: 302807"] Given the outrageous tuition rates, record low number of tenured professors per student, and unnecessary or superfluous faculty....one does wonder exactly what that billions are for? The universities need a complete audit and significant financial transparency. These aren't organizations created for wealth and profits....though it appears that's what they've become. I don't think every nation on that list supports Palestine...even if they claim to. I also think they're likely to have some unique ideas and goals depending upon their various political circumstances. Saudi Arabia is currently still one of our "quiet" allies....but frankly, this administration has done rather poorly in maintaining that relationship. Khashoggi is a sad story but much like everything under the Trump administration....it's a bit overblown. For example...

The majority of our mainstream media didn't want to spend time on anything that might give the public a sense of sympathy for wealthy men in finance. The other story overblown was the Kurdish disappointment at our exit from Syria.

To read the story though...you'd think this rather orderly and well executed withdrawal was an irreparable stain on the honor and reputation of our military.

That's despite the blatant lies the Biden administration told (claims that we "only" left a couple hundred US citizens in Afghanistan whereas later reports claimed that the true number was closer to 7000-9000) and the story was quieted by a well timed raid on Trump's property for classified docs despite the sitting president not only being guilty of the same crime, but Biden also shared his highly classified military documents to a completely unqualified biographer. That's the sort of crime that an airman caught committing is facing hard time for....
