Ban on Foreign Gifts to Universities: US Academic Security
New rules aim to protect American universities from foreign influence that could threaten national security. This means universities will be prohibited from accepting money or entering into contracts with countries deemed problematic. The goal is to ensure that education and research in the US serve the country's interests, not those of foreign powers.
