Sources and notes:
Each university branch provided its own data on enrollment, faculty, tuition and graduates. A few students are cross-enrolled at multiple branches. VCU’s headquarters in Richmond provided a copy of its contract with the Qatar Foundation for Education, Science and Community Development, which includes estimates for the annual budget of the VCU branch in Qatar. Other universities declined to provide copies of their contracts.
*”Qatar Foundation support” for Georgetown and Northwestern, refers to payments received through contracts and reported to the U.S. Department of Education. Several universities did not report contractual payments to the U.S. government.
**”Reported expenditures in Middle East and North Africa” refers to line items from university tax records that encompass Doha operations.
***Cornell provided precise detail on how much the Qatar Foundation reimbursed its operations under an expense item reported through U.S. tax records.
