Security shall ensure that an institution of higher education (referred 
to in this subsection as an ``institution'') which has a relationship

such Confucius Institute or Chinese entity of concern, as the case may 
be. Upon termination of such a relationship, the institution at issue 
shall be eligible to receive funds from the Department of Homeland 
Security.
