32. Espionage in Academia and Higher Education with Daniel Golden

Today, prolific journalist Daniel Golden dives into espionage recruitment at universities around the world. Faculty, staff, and students alike are often approached by covert operators from both sides of a conflict or interest, particularly international students. Another key group includes professors and adjuncts who, while American citizens, may be immigrants or otherwise have ties to countries of interest. Dan relates a specific story regarding a Chinese-American professor in Florida who was approached the FBI and told he could be fired for some previous transgressions, or retain his position and his tenure if he chose to be an FBI informant.Connect with Daniel:Check out his book, Spy Schools, here.https://www.amazon.com/Spy-Schools-Intelligence-Secretly-Universities/dp/1627796355Connect with Spycraft 101:IG: @spycraft101Patreon: Spycraft 101Buy the book: here on AmazonSupport the show Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
