Given that Cornell has an even greater financial relationship with Qatar than Texas A&M, I can only worry that Cornell and Qatar have a similar agreement. I do not believe that Cornell has a relationship with Qatar because it funds Hamas or tortures gay communities. Are we really to believe that Qatar will give the tortured members of the LBGTQ+ community access to the treatments developed there? Are we really to believe that whatever money Qatar makes from selling the medicine invented there will be used to compensate the workers they exploited?
