Bill overview
The Deterrent Act aims to increase transparency and accountability regarding foreign influence at U.S. colleges and universities. It requires institutions to disclose any gifts or contracts received from foreign countries or entities, particularly those of concern like China or Russia, and establishes stricter rules for entering into contracts with these sources. The bill also prohibits institutions from entering into contracts with foreign countries of concern without a waiver, and mandates the creation of a public database to track these disclosures, with potential penalties for non-compliance, including loss of federal student aid.
