Alfred University will cut off its China-backed Confucius Institute following scrutiny of the university receiving a $17 million defense grant.
A U.S. university will cut ties with the Chinese Confucius Institute following scrutiny fromAlfred University will close the Confucius Institute on its campus by June 30, a lawyer for the school told Gallagher in a letter obtained by Fox News Digital. Alfred had received a five-year grant worth $17 million to study hypersonic weapons in 2022.
"Even though Alfred University does not engage in classified research, it has for multiple years engaged with the Department of Commerce and the FBI to strengthen its export control policies and processes. Thank you for attention to this matter and the important oversight function you fill as a member of Congress," he added.
"It is extremely concerning that $17 million in American taxpayer dollars has gone to fund advanced weapons-related research at a university that actively partners with a Chinese research institution working hand in hand with the Chinese military," Gallagher told Fox News Digital earlier this month.
