Talk:Khaldoon Al Mubarak

Why is he on the NYU Board? Who were his parents and grandparents?
"Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak" -- is he related to any of the royal families of the UAE? Khalifa? What positions did his parents and grandparents hold? When and how did Al Mubarak become a member of the NYU Board? His alma mater is apparently Tufts University, so what's the connection to NYU other than his company provides the indentured labor building the NYU Abu Dhabi campus? So he and the state-owned investment company, Mubadala, on which he is CEO and the Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan is board chair, get the contract for the $1 billion Saadiyat Island campus construction. Al Nahyan and Al Mubarak's presence guarantee that the campus gets built. In exchange, besides the money, Al Mubarak gets a prestigious chair on the Board of NYU, giving him academic and American credentials. That was the deal. Can you say "grand corruption" -- "where political and economic elites have captured the country’s policy and regulatory processes" -- does it get any more clear? How disgusting.
