Not just how non-Buddhist people are finding it useful outside of the Buddhist context but how university health programs are promoting it for general well-being, acting as if they came up with these methods ie Koru.

There is nothing wrong in the spread of meditation alone I think, scientifically speaking its benefits are many. It really depends on the intention and the background. I find more problematic when specific kinds of meditation in specific tradition/context are sold for other purposes, example Zazen for just finding inner peace etc.
