SUMMARY
WHAT THIS CHANGES
This amendment proposed expanding the list of foreign investments that colleges must report to include any group identified by the U.S. government as being involved in human rights abuses, war, or state-sponsored violence. Because the amendment failed, the bill's reporting requirements will not include these specific criteria.
§ 04
KEY POINTS
3POINT 01
Expanded Scrutiny
It would have added human rights and international law violations as specific reasons for a foreign entity to be flagged for reporting.
POINT 02
Executive Branch Determination
The Secretary of State would have been given the power to decide which specific entities meet these criteria.
POINT 03
Wide Rejection
The amendment failed with a vote of 4 to 404, indicating that it lacked broad support across both political parties.
