Sen. Mark Warner on Research Security and Foreign Influence at U.S. Universities

Since 2018, members of Congress and policymakers from both parties have raised concerns about efforts by foreign governments, especially China, to improperly influence academic discourse and access scientific research on U.S. campuses. Sen. Mark R. Warner (D-VA), chairman of the Select Committee on Intelligence, delivers remarks before a panel discussion at ACE2022 on the ongoing threat to higher education and how Congress intends to address these concerns. ACE2022—the American Council on Education’s annual meeting—was held March 5-7, 2022 in San Diego.
