Restricting Foreign Funding to Universities from Countries of Concern
New rules aim to enhance national security by limiting foreign influence on American universities. Universities will be prohibited from accepting gifts or entering into contracts with countries deemed a threat to U.S. security. This is intended to protect academic research and education from undue foreign influence.
Key points
Universities cannot accept gifts or enter contracts with "foreign countries of concern".
The list of "countries of concern" will be determined by the government, including the Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence.
These rules will not affect tuition, room and board, or other student attendance costs.
