The DETERRENT Act passed in a 241 to 169 vote.
The Republican-led House on Thursday passed legislation to limit foreign influence in U.S. universities and colleges.
The legislation mandates that schools have to report foreign gifts that are at $50,000 or more to the Department of Education.
The legislation bans donations from China and Russia.
“The lack of transparency around foreign relationships with our nation’s universities should concern every American as we see stolen research, antisemitic propaganda, and academic censorship," Education and Workforce Committee Chairman Tim Walberg said in a statement after the bill passed.
"This is a major win for transparency, accountability, and protecting students from foreign adversaries attempting to influence U.S. universities," Washington GOP Rep. Michael Baumgartner said after the bill was passed.

I wonder if professors accept gifts from foreign sources. Dozens, if not hundreds, of students apply for teaching assistantships and the professor picks one who can barely speak English.

They should also ban donations from KSA, Qatar and UAE, as they are using this money to push radical islam.
Should have banned donations from Muslim countries, their our real enemies.
DOE is being shutdown so reporting to them would be hard to do.
Screw ‘higher’, I want LOWER to be free!
China and Russia are not the only countries from whom donations to colleges must be illegal. In addition to specific nations the ban should be “and from any nation that is not a multi-party democracy with free speech and freedom of religion. THAT will eliminate every Middle East country except Israel, among others in Africa, Latin America and Asia. No longer should the rich Middle East countries friendly to the Muslim Brotherhood be allowed to buy influence and friendly propoganda at American colleges.
