The DETERRENT Act protects the integrity of higher education by increasing transparency and accountability in foreign funding. The bill requires institutions to disclose significant foreign gifts and contracts, strengthens enforcement to track foreign influence, and prevents agreements with foreign entities of concern. It also imposes penalties for violations to ensure compliance. By promoting responsible oversight, the DETERRENT Act helps keep our higher education system transparent, secure, and free from undue foreign influence.
