Delaware Lawmakers Propose Ban on Energy Drink Sales to Minors

This initiative aims to fill the workforce gaps as more farmers adopt data-driven agricultural technologies.

US Organizations Urge Congress to Pass DETERRENT Act to Address Undisclosed Foreign Funding in Universities

A coalition of 26 major organizations has called on the US Congress to pass the DETERRENT Act, which aims to address the issue of undisclosed foreign funding in American universities. The act, which has already passed the House with bipartisan support, is currently under consideration in the Senate. It seeks to strengthen Section 117 of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which mandates that institutions receiving federal funding disclose foreign gifts and contracts to the US Department of Education. The legislation is designed to close gaps in oversight and ensure transparency about foreign influence in American academia. Dr. Charles Asher Small, founder of the Institute for the Study of Global Antisemitism and Policy, highlighted systematic efforts to circumvent existing transparency requirements. The coalition's letter emphasizes the need for accountability and transparency in foreign funding to safeguard US institutions.
