Critics worry that Beijing uses Confucius Institutes to promote Communist Party propaganda on U.S. college campuses — but not everyone agrees.
a section prohibiting schools from hosting the institutes if they take Defense Department money for Chinese-language programs, unless they’re granted a waiver., a nonprofit, shows that more than a dozen universities have shut their Confucius Institutes since October, many because of the provision in the act.“Like many universities, San Diego State University submitted a waiver but was denied,” the school told NBC News in an email.
The report also recommended that universities prohibit the involvement of Confucius Institutes in public programming beyond language and culture, which could otherwise open the door for politicized propaganda., the congressional watchdog, interviewed officials in a case study of 10 schools with Confucius Institutes. Its report, published in February, noted that officials credited the centers with providing increased resources for Chinese language and cultural programs.
The GAO report found that no faculty member or administrators interviewed at the case study schools “had or was aware of any complaints related to teachers or students facing academic restrictions or feeling unable to freely discuss or study certain topics at the institute.”
