The Countering Adversarial and Malicious Partnerships at Universities and Schools Act of 2025, or CAMPUS Act , aims to counter the influence of the People's Liberation Army (PLA) and the People's Republic of China's (PRC) military-civil fusion strategy within American educational and research sectors. It mandates the Director of National Intelligence to annually identify and list PRC higher education institutions that support the PLA, including those involved in the PRC's defense industrial base. Based on this identification, the bill imposes several restrictions: it prohibits Department of Defense research funds from being provided to entities that contract with these identified PRC institutions and limits eligibility for facilities to host classified information if they have active research partnerships with them. The Secretary of State is also authorized to deny F or J visas to students or employees from these identified institutions, and Department of Education K-12 funds are restricted from schools contracting with any PRC entity. To enhance transparency, the Act lowers the disclosure threshold for foreign gifts to U.S. universities from $250,000 to $50,000 . Additionally, it promotes U.S.-Taiwan educational partnerships by authorizing grants to expand Mandarin language instruction and Chinese cultural programming in American schools and universities, in collaboration with the American Institute in Taiwan and the Taipei Economic and Cultural Representatives Office.
