Georgia passes foreign funding disclosure law for education

The Georgia state legislature has approved a bill requiring educational institutions to disclose any foreign funding exceeding $10,000, making it the first U.S. state to enact such a law. The legislation follows a report revealing that Qatar's royal family invested over $281,000 in Georgia's education system. The law explicitly names Qatar and Saudi Arabia as the two largest foreign funders of U.S. institutions. The move is part of a broader push to increase transparency in foreign influence within American education.
