Bankster financing
In 2012, it became known that the major bank UBS was financing five professor positions with around CHF 100 million to "research" economics (or in other words, to create bank-friendly propaganda). In addition, UBS used millions to finance its own research center, which is affiliated with the university. The contractual clauses of this sponsorship remains secret.[4][5][6]
