Republican Senators reintroduced legislation that would require U.S. universities to disclose all large foreign donations made to their institutions, called the Foreign Influence Transparency Act. This bill was created in large part as a response to the Chinese government’s Confucius Institutes (CI).
U.S. Senators Rob Portman (R-Ohio), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) and Tom Cotton’s (R-Ariz.) bill amends the Higher Education Act and requires organizations like China’s CIs to register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).
