Bill overview
This bill, the Protecting Higher Education from Foreign Threats Act, aims to prevent colleges and universities from receiving federal funding if they employ instructors who have received financial support from the Chinese Communist Party. Specifically, it prohibits institutions from receiving federal funds if they have a faculty member funded by the CCP while teaching students. However, institutions can regain eligibility by demonstrating they no longer employ such instructors. The bill updates the Higher Education Act to include this restriction.
