I can’t say I’ve been following all the details here, but it’s hard to see why a public university should have secret agreements with funders. If the Kochs don’t want the terms of their funding exposed to the public, then the conditions probably are not proper. Universities should not be in the business of selling legitimating arguments for political positions.
The same story applies to private universities that want to be taken seriously. In fact, it would be a good rule to have as a condition of receiving their taxpayer subsidy (tax-exempt status). Let Corrupt University take as much money as it wants from the Koch gang, but the rest of us should not have to subsidize their sleaze.
