Texas A&M closes satellite Qatar campus citing 'heightened instability in the Middle East'
Fox News
The Texas A&M University System Board of Regents voted Thursday to end its remote campus in Qatar, citing "heightened instability in the Middle East."
The move by the board of regents follows revelations in a recent report published by the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism & Policy (ISGAP) that highlighted Qatar’s relationship with the Muslim Brotherhood and uncovered "its extensive financial arrangements with Texas A&M University."

Qatar and Texas A&M’s partnership, according to the ISGAP, included significant access to and ownership of intellectual property on many research projects, including nuclear energy research, which in their view raises safety and security concerns.
