To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to strengthen oversight and disclosures relating to foreign support for institutions of higher education, and for other purposes.

This bill revises oversight and disclosure requirements related to foreign sources and institutions of higher education (IHEs).

For example, the bill establishes the Office for Foreign Gifts and Contracts Oversight within the Department of Education.  Additionally, the bill requires an IHE to disclose to the office any gift or contract from a foreign source that (1) is valued at $50,000 or more, considered alone or in combination with all other gifts or contracts within a calendar year (current disclosure threshold is $250,000 or more); or (2) has an undetermined monetary value.
