British Universities funded by Islamic sources

Between 1995 and 2008, Oxford, Cambridge, Durham, University College of London, Exeter, Dundee the London School of Economics (LSE) and City accepted more than £233.5 million from Muslim rulers and those closely connected to them. Islamic donations are now the largest source of external funding for universities in the UK.

The report comes after Sir Howard Davies, director of the LSE resigned from the university’s governing council after it received £300,000 of the £1.5m it was due from Gaddafi’s Libya. [Barnabas Fund] Read more [via National Secular Society]
