The Conservative Dark-Money Groups Infiltrating Campus Politics March 29, 2017, Pam Vogel, Media Matters for America

---

College campuses have long served as unique places for the free exchange of ideas -- but increasingly they've also become playgrounds for ideologically driven, right-wing billionaires and the dark-money groups they fund.

This post may be updated with further groups and financial connections in the future.
