CHICAGO (JTA) — Il-
linois has become the first
state to mandate public dis-
closure of gifts made to state
universities by foreign gov-
ernments or foreign per-
sons, according to the Mid-
west office of the American
Jewish Congress.
"In enacting Public Act
83-0641, Illinois has taken
substantial steps to protect
its schools from becoming
educational conduits for the
prejudices or biases of cer-
tain foreign donors," said
Sylvia Neil, Midwest legal
director for the AJCongress.
She cited gifts from Arab
nations as an example.
The AJCongress de-
veloped the disclosure legis-
lation. The law requires
disclosure for all monies in
excess of $100,000 made to
state institutions of higher
education by foreign gov-
ernments or individuals.
The source and purpose of
each gift, and any condi-
tions on its use, are included
in the disclosure.
Recently, many foreign
financial gifts to Ameri-
can universities have
been made with condi-
tional strings attached.
Arab nations have
endowed millions of dol-
lars to various American
academic institutions
which has often resulted
in discrimination against
Jewish faculty, exclusion
of Israeli professors,
donor control over the
academic curriculum
and donor designation of
appointments
with strong anti-Israel
biases, the AJCongress
said.
One example, of an at-
tempt to import the bias of
petro-dollars to the Midwest
occurred via the Midwest
Consortium for Interna-
tional Activities. The con-

SECURITY.

Understanding your right to live with
dignity, knowing you have as much right

This is the security we provide for

dedicated to providing lives of quality,
dignity and pride for retarded men and
women.
Think of JARC the

more are waiting for the
security you can help
provide.

sortium, which includes the
University of Illinois,
entered into a contract with
Saudi Arabia. When the
Saudis refused to give a
Jewish professor from
Michigan State University
a visa, the consortium can-
celled the contract, Ms. Neil
said.
Not all recipients of
foreign monies have been so
willing to give up funds
when issues of academic in-
tegrity or discrimination
have surfaced. Universities
known to have received
large grants of money with

questionable strings at-
tached from Arab nations
include such schools as
Harvard University, Uni-
versity of Southern Califor-
nia, Georgetown University
and New York University,
Ms. Neil said.

The precise number of
schools receiving foreign
monies, and any conditions
or restrictions placed on the
use of such grants remains
difficult to ascertain be-
cause disclosure is not man-
dated throughout the coun-
try.

Israel Is Blocking Commerce
With S. Africa's Homelands

JERUSALEM (JTA) —
The Israeli government has
publicly disapproved the
growing commercial ties be-
tween private Israeli
businessmen, including
some Knesset members,
and the black homelands set
up by the apartheid gov-
ernment of South Africa,
known collectively — and
pejoratively — as Bantus-
tans.
The government's posi-
tion, reflecting a desire to
distance/itself from those
entities, was expressed by
David Kimche, director
general of the Foreign
Ministry. "Israel does not
recognize these so-called
states nor do we intend to,"
Kimche declared.
No country, apart from
South Africa itself, recog-
nizes the four homelands —
Ciskei, Transkei,
Bophtatswana and Venda.
They are widely condemned
as embodiments of South
Africa's apartheid policies.
But while the Israel
government has been
embarrassed by the
well-publicized visits of
several Bantustan dig-
nitaries, Kimche ex-
plained that it could not
prevent them from corn-
ing to Israel since they
arrived with valid South
African passports.
Neither can the govern-
ment stop private trade
by Israelis with the home-
lands, Kimche said, al-
though it recently
applied an official
boycott.
L. L. Sebe, president of

Ciskei, has visited Israel
several times, most recently
as the guest of a tourism
convention organized by a
firm which is owned by the
Tel Aviv municipality. Last
week, 18 young Ciskei men
came to Israel for pilot
training. It was emphasized
that the training was pro-
vided by a private flying
school and that the govern-
ment is in no way involved.

Kimche confirmed that
business ties with the home-
lands enjoyed a strong lobby
in Israel and that several
Knesset members are com-
mercially involved with
them. Another well-known
public figure with business
ties to the homelands is
Gen. (Res.) Ephraim Poran,
until recently military aide
to former Premier
Menahem Begin.

Kimche said the govern-
ment will henceforth make
sure that there are no offi-
cial contacts between Is-
raelis and the homelands,
whether inadvertant or in
deliberate disregard of na-
tional policy. He indicated
that once firm instructions
have gone out to all gov-
ernment departments and
state-run enterprises to
shun the homelands, politi-
cal pressure would be
applied on MKs to keep
clear as well.
In addition, Kimche said,
government legal experts
will seek legal ways to pre-
vent persons from the un-
recognized homelands from
posing as diplomats in Is-
rael.
