Congresswoman Elise Stefanik recently reintroduced the Stop Higher Education Espionage and Theft (SHEET) Act.

A press release from Stefanik’s office said the bill would counter espionage and influence operations at American colleges and universities by allowing the designation and removal of hostile actors that are deemed a foreign intelligence threat to higher education by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

It would also require foreign gifts and contracts at institutions of higher education to be disclosed.

“The Chinese Communist Party is actively spreading propaganda and engaging in intellectual property theft and various forms of espionage on American college campuses. This bill would implement simple measures to combat these malign activities, protect the integrity of our academic institutions, and safeguard the national security of the United States,” said Stefanik.

Congresswoman Stefanik recently cosponsored similar legislation, the End College Chinese Communist Partnerships Act, that would block taxpayer funds from going to American colleges and universities with Confucius Institute partnerships.

She also recently supported the Opposing Business with Chinese Military Companies Act to ensure companies affiliated with or operating on behalf of the Chinese military are made public and sanctioned, as required by law, the press release said.
