Summary of Bill HR 938

Bill 119 HR 938, also known as the Restricting Foreign Influence in Higher Education Act, aims to amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 in order to limit the ability of American colleges and universities to enter into contracts with foreign countries and entities that are deemed to be of concern.

The bill specifically targets countries and entities that are considered to pose a threat to national security or engage in human rights abuses. It seeks to prevent these foreign actors from exerting undue influence on American higher education institutions through financial or other means.

Under the proposed legislation, colleges and universities would be required to disclose any contracts or agreements they have with foreign countries or entities of concern. They would also be prohibited from accepting certain types of funding or resources from these entities. The bill has garnered bipartisan support in Congress, with lawmakers from both parties expressing concerns about the potential for foreign interference in American higher education. Supporters argue that the legislation is necessary to protect national security and academic freedom. Critics of the bill, however, have raised concerns about the potential impact on international collaboration and exchange programs. They argue that the restrictions could hinder the ability of American institutions to engage with foreign partners and limit opportunities for students and researchers. Overall, Bill 119 HR 938 represents a significant effort to address the growing concerns about foreign influence in higher education. It remains to be seen how the legislation will be implemented and what impact it will have on the relationships between American colleges and universities and foreign countries and entities.
