Protecting Academic Integrity Act of 2026

This bill would lower the dollar amount that requires a college or university to report a gift from or contract with a foreign source to the Secretary of Education, from $250,000 to $50,000. Reports would also need to name, when available, the specific department, agency, office, or division of a foreign government responsible for the gift or contract. Colleges would have to report the purpose of a foreign gift or contract if available, or otherwise its intended use and which account or department will receive it. These changes would take effect one year after the bill becomes law. The Government Accountability Office would also study how well colleges follow these reporting rules and report to Congress within one year.
