There is growing concern, reflected in emerging federal policy, that foreign governments are using faculty, staff, and students at U.S. universities to exploit the open nature of US research and effectively steal research data and intellectual property.
As a USU staff, faculty, or student, you can secure your research by doing the following:

You must also disclose participation in a foreign talent recruitment program and be aware that USU policy forbids participation in malign foreign talent recruitment programs.
