Officially: DHS Restrictions on Confucius Institutes and Chinese Entities of Concern Act
U.S. colleges and universities that partner with Confucius Institutes or specific Chinese government-linked organizations would no longer get money from the Department of Homeland Security. Schools can restore their funding by ending those partnerships, or by getting a national security waiver with strong safeguards. DHS must report to Congress each year on which schools are affected.
