Universities in Indiana are now required to tell state leaders about any possible foreign spying on campus.
Lawmakers approved, and Governor Holcomb signed a law that requires schools, specifically IU and Purdue, to report any ties to foreign countries.
The schools are also required to report any theft or possible theft of intellectual property and research.
Lawmakers say the law is designed to stop foreign spying on college campuses.
It comes after a Chinese student at IU was arrested for lying about his ties to China’s military.
The first report from the schools is due in November.
