CAMPUS Act

The CAMPUS Act (S 2726) requires the Director of National Intelligence to identify Chinese institutions of higher education supporting the People’s Liberation Army or Military-Civil Fusion strategy, and submit this list to Congress annually. It restricts U.S. Department of Defense and Education funding for research, contracts, or K-12 programs involving institutions on this list, and blocks facilities with such partnerships from hosting classified information. The bill also allows visa denials for students or employees of listed institutions and lowers the threshold for reporting foreign gifts to $50,000 under the Higher Education Act. These provisions directly affect U.S. universities, schools, and federal agencies receiving funds that partner with targeted Chinese entities.
