Bill overview
This bill, the American Campuses Act, aims to protect West Virginia’s higher education institutions from potential risks associated with foreign influence. It prohibits state colleges and universities from establishing relationships with designated foreign missions of countries like China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran, as well as participating in foreign talent recruitment programs. The bill also requires institutions to report on funding received from these entities and disclose employee involvement in such programs. Institutions must take steps to eliminate any existing relationships by a specified deadline.
