A group of Republican senators has introduced a bill to keep foreign influence out of U.S. higher education, after the House passed its version of the legislation last month.
The Senate bill, known as the Defending Education Transparency and Ending Rogue Regimes Engaging in Nefarious Transactions (DETERRENT) Act (S.1296), was led by Sens. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.), according to a statement on April 7.
