The US House of Representatives has approved a bill that requires universities to disclose more of their foreign funding. The bill, known as the DETERRENT Act, passed with bipartisan support and will now head to the Senate. The legislation aims to lower the reporting threshold for gifts from foreign countries and has received support from Jewish organizations concerned about anti-Israel messaging on campuses. Michigan Democratic Representative Rashida Tlaib, a critic of Israel, introduced amendments to the bill that were rejected by large bipartisan majorities. Schools that do not comply with the new reporting requirements could lose federal funding.
