Public Funding Of Universities

EDM number 1562 in 2010-12, proposed by Robert Halfon on 09/03/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Higher education and Middle East.

That this House believes that there should be a real financial incentive for British universities not to accept donations from foreign dictatorships, especially regimes in the Middle East with a poor record on human rights; and therefore calls on the Government to introduce a mechanism whereby for every 1 that a university receives in donations from a totalitarian or despotic regime, such a Libya,1 shall be withdrawn from that university in publicsubsidy.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
