Colleges and universities would have to tell the Department of Education (the federal agency that oversees schools and student financial aid) whenever they get money from countries like China or Russia—even a small amount—or larger gifts and contracts (starting at $50,000) from other foreign sources, which is a much lower bar than the current $250,000 threshold. Schools would also be barred from signing contracts with those flagged countries unless they get special government approval first, and they'd need to report gifts foreign sources give directly to researchers and professors, not just to the school itself. Wealthier private colleges would additionally have to disclose their investments each year, and any school that breaks these rules could face penalties, including losing access to federal student financial aid—the grants and loans that help students pay for college.
