Arrr, mateys! Them American learning ships be sailin’ with a treasure chest o’ $60 billion from foreign lands, savvy? A watchful crew found the scallywags at ten fancy schools hoardin’ a third o’ the loot! Aye, there be worries ‘bout our shores bein’ safe and a lack o’ honesty in these dealings!
Avast ye landlubbers and scallywags! Gather 'round as I regale ye with a tale most curious from the shores of America! It appears that the fine establishments of higher learnin’, them colleges and universities, have received a treasure trove of nearly $60 billion in foreign doubloons and contracts over the span of a decade! Aye, that be no small booty!According to a band of merry watchdogs known as Americans for Public Trust—aye, they be leanin' to the right, like a ship caught in a storm—they discovered that this vast fortune hath flowed into the coffers of hundreds of these scholarly havens. But lo and behold! A mere ten elite schools have claimed a third of this treasure, raisin’ the proverbial black flag of concern over national security and whisperin’ tales of a lack of compliance with the laws of disclosure.
So, me hearties, as these institutions line their pockets with gold from distant shores, we mustn’t forget to keep an eye on 'em lest they be steerin’ us into treacherous waters! Aye, it be a fine pickle indeed, but one must wonder—what else be hidin’ in the murky depths of these foreign riches? Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum, let the inquiries begin!
