Concerns Over Nations Funding University Campus Institutes in the United States Act or the CONFUCIUS Act This bill addresses China's influence on postsecondary educational institutions through Confucius Institutes, which are cultural institutes directly or indirectly funded by the Chinese government. Specifically, the bill establishes requirements for postsecondary educational institutions that receive federal funding and that have contracts or agreements with Confucius Institutes. The contracts or agreements must include clear provisions that (1) protect the academic freedom of the institutions; (2) prohibit the application of foreign law on the institutions' campuses; and (3) grant full managerial authority of the institutes to the institutions, including full control over teaching plans, activities, research grants, and employment decisions.

As is FIRE's custom with every new President, FIRE sent President Biden a letter on his inauguration day highlighting FIRE's priorities. The letter included discussion of campus free speech and due process and discussed those issues in the context of Title IX. Staff for the majority and minority of the House Education and Labor Committee as well as the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee were copied on the letter. FIRE also wrote to Senate offices with questions we wanted posed to Miguel Cardona during his confirmation hearing in the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee. FIRE also internally analyzed two bills addressing Confucius Institutes on college campus in anticipation of the possibility of doing congressional advocacy. Those bills were S. 590 and S. 822. Finally, early in second quarter, FIRE had a meeting with the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights to discuss campus free speech. Preparation for the meeting took place during the covered time period.
