‘Disinformation campaign’ behind Texas A&M closure of Doha campus: Qatar Foundation

LONDON: A months-long “disinformation campaign” was behind Texas A&M University’s decision on Thursday to close its Doha campus, Qatar Foundation has said.

The university’s System Board of Regents voted 7-1 in favor of ending the contract with the foundation, effectively winding down its Doha campus over the next four years.

In a statement after the vote, the university body said the board had reevaluated its decades-long presence in Qatar “due to heightened instability in the Middle East.” ‘Disinformation campaign’ behind Texas A&M closure of Doha campus: Qatar Foundation
