Governor Greg Abbott is set to announce measures to curb foreign influence in education. This move comes as lawmakers prepare to assess the measures colleges have in place to safeguard research. The House Higher Education Committee will meet to discuss this issue, focusing on areas such as oversight and security.

A previous law established a council to oversee research security and set guidelines for researchers and academic partnerships. Further details about the committee's agenda and the governor's plans are available, including information on screening and reporting requirements for certain individuals and activities.
