Stefanik, Banks bill would block funding from US colleges with ties to Chinese, Russian institutions
Fox News
Two top House Republicans have introduced legislation to block funding for universities and colleges that have ties to respective institutions in Russia and China.
The bill bars federal funding going to U.S. academic institutions that have "contractual partnerships" with institutions in China and Russia. Specifically, it would require the Pentagon to identify those universities in China and Russia which provide support to their countries’ armies and add them to a list of malign actors. It would then block funding for those U.S. institutions which maintain ties to those on that list, or a company linked to the Chinese government.

The legislation would also block the Intelligence Community from giving funding to U.S. institutions which maintain a partnership with any Chinese military company in the U.S., or a Chinese university linked to a company aligned with the Chinese government.
