Elite US universities rake in millions from big oil donations, research finds
Briefly

"Fossil fuel companies are hijacking our universities to perpetuate their own toxic industry, and we students are not having it anymore," said Will Kattrup, a research lead at Campus Climate Network.
The six schools have accepted over $100 million in fossil fuel industry-tied funding since 2003, with millions more expected from enabling firms that fund oil expansion.
The student-led analyses reveal a troubling connection between academic institutions and fossil fuel interests, raising significant questions about the integrity of research and education.
This funding issue likely underrepresents the true extent of fossil fuel contributions, as many university research centers do not publicly disclose their donors.
