DETERRENT Act

This bill increases the rules about colleges and universities reporting money or agreements they receive from foreign countries and organizations. It lowers the dollar amount that triggers reporting requirements and adds stricter rules for countries considered concerning, like China and Russia, including requiring colleges to report gifts from those countries no matter how small the amount. Colleges would also be banned from making agreements with these countries of concern unless they get special permission, and certain researchers at colleges would have to report their own foreign gifts or agreements. If colleges break these rules, they could face penalties, including losing access to federal student financial aid programs.
