Koch’s $5.6 million to MSU part of outreach to campuses

The Charles Koch Foundation’s $5.67 million grant to Montana State University to create an economic research center fits with the billionaire’s long-term efforts to influence not only academic research and government policy but also the "hearts and minds" of America’s next generation.

His foundation has already given more than $200 million to colleges and universities, and the 80-year-old Charles Koch plans to accelerate that giving in coming years, as he discussed in a June interview with the Washington Post, "Inside Charles Koch’s $200 million quest for a ‘Republic of Science.’" https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/06/03/inside-charles-kochs-200-million-quest-for-a-republic-of-science/
