Audits of foreign gifts to universities and new taxes on unreported funds.
New regulations introduce mandatory audits of higher education institutions regarding the disclosure of foreign gifts and contracts. This aims to increase transparency in education funding. Additionally, institutions that fail to report foreign funds or receive them from countries deemed problematic will face high taxes, potentially impacting their budgets and, consequently, tuition costs.
