Increased Transparency of Foreign Influence on Universities and Organizations
New rules aim to increase transparency of foreign funding for higher education institutions and limit foreign government influence on U.S. organizations. Citizens will gain better insight into the sources of funding for certain institutions and activities, potentially affecting the perceived independence of these entities.
Key points
Universities must disclose foreign gifts and agreements over $50,000, including full contract content.
Institutions with Confucius Institute agreements (funded by the Chinese government) must immediately make full agreement texts publicly available.
Religious, scholastic, academic, and artistic organizations lose foreign agent registration exemption if they promote a foreign government's political agenda.
Non-compliant universities will be ineligible to enroll foreign students.
