House Passes Act to Limit Foreign Interference in Universities and Deter Colleges From Taking Secret Donations

4

We did it. You called congressman telling them to vote to deter US colleges from taking secret foreign donations. It’s obscene that Qatar’s regime – the same one that offers shelter and protection to top Hamas terrorists – has been able to pour billions into places like Yale, Georgetown and Cornell – much of it undisclosed.

The DETERRENT Act finally brings transparency to the financial ties U.S. colleges have with foreign entities. Our adversaries exploit these ties to indoctrinate students and undermine U.S. national security.

Rep. Michael Baumgartner (R-WA), one of the bill’s co-sponsors, notes that by pumping cash into campuses across the country, American adversaries are able to “stifle academic freedom,” spread propaganda, and gain access to valuable intellectual property. China pursues this strategy aggressively.
