Fears over CIA 'university spies'
Advertisements [?]
A CIA scheme to sponsor trainee spies secretly through US university courses has caused anger among UK academics.

The Pat Roberts Intelligence Scholars Program pays anthropology students, whose names are not disclosed, up to $50,000 (£27,500) a year.

They are expected to use the techniques of "fieldwork" to gather political and cultural details on other countries.

Undergraduates taking part in the scholarship programme must not reveal their funding source and are expected to attend military intelligence summer camps.
