The purpose of this legislation is to enhance national security by requiring higher education institutions to report certain activities of international students. Specifically, if a student with a nonimmigrant visa (specifically J-1 or F-1 visas) is found to have endorsed or supported a foreign terrorist organization, the institution must notify the Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS). Key provisions of the legislation include a mandate for educational institutions to report any involvement of their students with foreign terrorist organizations.
