DHARAMSHALA, June 22: U.S. lawmakers have introduced a bipartisan legislative package aimed at preventing American universities from receiving federal funding if they maintain branch campuses in adversarial countries or accept research funding from foreign governments for sensitive fields such as artificial intelligence, biotechnology, and quantum information science.
The legislation, introduced by Senator Rick Scott and U.S. Representatives Elise Stefanik and Josh Gottheimer, seeks to curb foreign interference in the American higher education system and counter what lawmakers describe as growing influence by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and other hostile foreign actors.
