53 Over 30 years ago, Congress enacted Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) in light of concerns about the growing financial relationship between U.S. universities and foreign sources. Congress balanced academic freedom and national security by mandating financial transparency through required reporting of contracts with and gifts from a foreign source that, alone or combined, are valued at $250,000 or more in a calendar year. https://data.ed.gov/dataset/4062761e-b13f-443c-8915-d279ffbbbab3/resource/d3e999d7-7bdc-46e0-ad3b-d7acda1f84f0/download/cuserssara.stefanikonedrive-u.s.-department-of-educationdesktopforeigngifts.xls
