Sa paglaban para sa akademikong integridad, ang "UnKoch My Campus" ay mabilis na nakakakuha ng traksyon sa buong bansa.<\/p>
Founded in 2012, this student movement shines a light on Charles and David Koch's many donations to universities, and the demands and restrictions that often come with them.<\/p>
Ang mga mag-aaral ay nakikipaglaban para sa higit na transparency at pananagutan ng mga donor ng unibersidad na, tulad ng magkakapatid na Koch, ay gumagamit ng mga pampubliko at pribadong unibersidad bilang isang tool para sa negosyo at ideolohikal na pamumuhunan. <\/p>
Funneled through their various charitable foundations, the Koch brothers have given nearly $70,000,000 to over 300 universities between 2005 and 2013. Their actions received national attention when, in 2011, news broke that the Charles G. Koch Foundation had donated $1.5 billion to Florida State University's economics department -- with just one catch: new faculty additions would have to be Koch-approved, or the donation would be withdrawn.<\/p>
Samantala, ang mga mag-aaral ng University of Kansas ay nakikipaglaban sa isang $35,000 na demanda matapos ang isang kaalyado ng Koch ay nagdemanda upang ihinto ang pagpapalabas ng impormasyon tungkol sa mga donasyon noong 2014 sa paaralan mula sa Charles G. Koch Foundation.<\/p>
As donations from the Koch Brothers encroach on students' academic freedom from undue ideological influence, unaccountability of donors, and an alarming lack of transparency in the academic process, communities across the nation are voicing their concerns and acting upon their knowledge.<\/p>
Regardless of ideology, any private enterprise that manipulates universities and education for profitable gain must be held accountable for their actions. In growing numbers, the \"UnKoch My Campus\" movement is fighting to ensure that universities are accountable to their students - not the billionaires who fund them.<\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"\n
