DETERRENT Act

What this bill does

  • Colleges must disclose gifts and contracts from foreign countries like China and Russia to the Education Department.
  • Universities and their researchers are affected, along with students who receive federal financial aid.
  • Lower disclosure thresholds ($50,000 instead of $250,000) take effect immediately; violations can result in loss of federal aid.

  1. 01

    How might lower disclosure thresholds affect smaller research collaborations or international partnerships that universities currently maintain without reporting?

  2. 02

    What evidence supports the claim that foreign gifts and contracts pose risks significant enough to warrant immediate loss of federal aid as punishment?

  3. 03

    Which universities and research programs would be most burdened by compliance with the new $50,000 reporting requirement, and how might they respond?
