More and more universities across the country have decided to reject hefty donations and grants from big tobacco companies. However, such a decision has not been fully implemented at Cornell, where Philip Morris USA, one of the world’s largest tobacco corporations, is currently funding research in the plant breeding and genetics department, according to the Cornell Press Office.

The $923,037 grant is the only one from Philip Morris to Cornell. The University has received no other donations and has no research sponsored by tobacco companies.
