Colleges with ties to certain Chinese groups would lose Department of Homeland Security funding.
This bill would stop colleges from getting money from the Department of Homeland Security if they have connections to Confucius Institutes, Thousand Talents Programs, or specific Chinese organizations. To keep receiving these funds, colleges would need to end those relationships or get a special waiver. This changes how federal money is distributed to universities starting about a year after the bill becomes law.
Today, colleges and universities can receive funds from the Department of Homeland Security even if they have relationships with Confucius Institutes, Thousand Talents Programs, or certain Chinese entities. After this bill, these colleges would be ineligible for Department of Homeland Security funds unless they end those relationships or receive a special waiver from the Secretary of Homeland Security.
