Iowa Lawmaker Questions Drake Universitys Chinese Partnerships: National Security Concerns and H-1B Visa Bill
An Iowa lawmaker has raised concerns about Drake Universitys partnerships with Chinese universities, potentially posing national security risks.

The lawmaker seeks details on these partnerships, student involvement, and safety measures to protect U.S. interests. A bill in Iowas legislature could ban universities from hiring H-1B visa workers from countries like China starting July 2, 2026.
