MIT accepted over $51 million from Russian foundation later deemed security risk by U.S. government
2020-11-29
[CollegeFix] Since 2014, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has accepted over $51 million in monetary gifts from the Skolkovo Foundation, a relationship the Department of Education recently deemed a national security risk.

In a recent report, the Education Department criticized the partnership between MIT and the Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, saying it amounted to "conducting sensitive research in conjunction with an adversarial government."

"While the Department does not police subject matter, the public should be aware of such partnerships that concern national security," the report reads.

#3  Why are we in bed with China and hostile to Russia? On countless occasions since the 17th century Russia has had the opportunity to join the circle of civilized nations. It has never done so. It remains at heart what it has always been, an oriental despotism.

#1  Skolkovo is a Russian project to create a Silicon Valley outside Moscow. Idea was to lure companies and institutes to transfer technology that the Russians could not create or steal.
