Michigan state representative introduces bill to limit ‘hostile’ foreign influence in higher ed

Michigan State Rep. Will Bruck introduced the Foreign Influence of State Institutions of Higher Education Act in the state legislature on March 14 in an effort to curb the influence of foreign adversaries in American higher education.

According to Bruck, the bill is a step towards promoting the ideological independence of American academia, which he says has been a recent target for foreign actors who aim to undermine the United States.
