 In late 2013 , Texas A & M signed an agreement to open a $ 200 million campus in Nazareth , Israel as a “ peace campus ” for Arabs and Israelis . The agreement led to protests from students at the Qatari campus who claimed that it was “ an insult to [ their ] people ” . The campus was never opened . Instead , Texas A & M opened a $ 6 million marine biology center in Haifa , Israel .
