Following the 10/7 attacks and the ensuing upheaval on Ivy League campuses, Open the Books was on the leading edge of investigating the tax dollars spent on far-Left ideology at those elite institutions. We measured how much public cash they and Northwestern hoovered up in recent years -- $45 billion. Then we found millions flowing to those schools from the “State of Palestine,” even though no such nation is recognized by the US State Department. As further controversies erupted in the mid-Atlantic, we measured the spending on DEI at the University of Virginia and UNC-Chapel Hill.

There were so many millions spent on staff pushing DEI at these schools, and so many billions worth of federal grants for radical research, we decided to take a more exhaustive look.

While the public has become used to hearing about radical ideas in the Ivy Leagues, Open the Books investigated nearly a dozen state-run schools. Our auditors chose highly-ranked schools that represent a diverse geographic and political cross section of our nation. For every Berkeley, we also checked into a school like Ohio State, and for every Rutgers, we looked at a school like Georgia Tech.

We measured how much each school was spending on staff to push DEI; how much they were receiving in federal grants and contracts; and how much cash was coming from overseas, including adversarial nations like China, Saudi Arabia, or Qatar.

The results were stunning. For the first time, they’re gathered here in an exhaustive report.
