No Subsidies for Wealthy Universities Act

What this bill does

The bill caps how much wealthy universities can charge the federal government for overhead costs on research grants.
Universities with endowments over $5 billion lose overhead reimbursement entirely; those with $2-5 billion endowments are capped at 8% overhead.
The National Center for Education Statistics must annually identify affected universities and report to federal agencies and Congress.
