HR 1739 United States House · 118th Congress

Transparency in College Foreign Payments Act

This bill amends the Higher Education Act to require colleges and universities receiving foreign funds to publicly disclose more detailed information. Specifically, it mandates that institutions report the full identity of foreign sources (including individuals and organizations), the name of any foreign government involved, and the specific department, project, or division within the institution that receives the funds, along with the intended purpose of the payment. These changes apply to all foreign gifts and contracts reported under Section 117 of the Higher Education Act. The policy aims to increase transparency about foreign financial relationships with U.S. educational institutions.
