According to records requested by Judicial Watch, Texas A&M University received nearly $500 million in grants and contracts from the Qatar regime. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton commented, “Now we know why terrorist-linked Qatar has fought us in court to hide its financial support for Texas A&M — which we just found out is nearly a half billion dollars.”by Judicial Watch under the Texas Public Information Act indicate that Texas A&M received $485,811,921.
“For instance, Texas A&M’s gift record for January 1, 2013 – May 22, 2018, only lists a total of $69,844.41 from the Qatar Foundation, whereas the Department of Education’s database shows a total of over $47 million for the same period,” Judicial Watch noted. The Zachor Legal Institute wanted to know about the potential influence by the Qatar government’s funding of certain Texas A&M University programs, as well as a Texas A&M campus in Education City, Al Rayyan, Qatar.
In 2018, Qatar filed a lawsuit to prevent its funding information from being disclosed, Judicial Watch reports. But in March 2023, Judge Amy Clark Meachum ruled in favor of making the documents public.
