Lawmakers recently introduced a bill that would force U.S. colleges to disclose their financial ties with the Chinese regime, including its Confucius Institutes, in order to qualify to receive international students.

The bill, put forward by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), would make such disclosure a condition to a university’s eligibility to be part of the Student and Exchange Visitor Program, which provides approval for schools to enroll students holding non-immigrant visas.
