Transatlantic Academic Security and Risk Mitigation Act

New State plan on Europe campus risks

This bill would require the State Department to deliver a strategy within 180 days after enactment. The strategy would cover European universities and research institutions that have direct or indirect ties to certain foreign entities. It would explain how the Department would identify, assess, and mitigate risky relationships. The report would list the scale and activities of those entities by country and evaluate threats to the United States and to European partners. The report would be unclassified but could include a classified annex, and the Under Secretary would brief two congressional committees. The bill would also define who counts as a "covered entity of concern" and what a "covered European institution" is, effective on enactment.
