INSTRUCT Act of 2025

HR 1018, the INSTRUCT Act of 2025, requires universities receiving federal funding to publicly disclose foreign financial sources and mandates the Department of Education to share these unredacted reports with 10 national security and intelligence agencies within 30 days. It directly affects institutions of higher education that receive federal funds and disclose foreign financial support. Key provisions include making these disclosure reports public records, requiring immediate sharing of existing and future reports with agencies like the FBI and CIA, and directing the GAO to study ways to improve interagency coordination on enforcement within three years. The bill focuses on increasing transparency around foreign funding in education and enhancing federal agency information sharing for national security purposes.
