More than $1 billion in federal funding for Cornell University and around $790 million for Northwestern University have been frozen while the US government invents civil rights violations at both schools
AP News · Trump administration halts $1 billion in federal funding for Cornell, $790 million for NorthwesternMore than $1 billion in federal funding for Cornell and around $790 million for Northwestern have been frozen as the government investigates alleged civil rights violations at both universities. That's according to the White House. It’s part of a broader push to use government funding to get major academic institutions to comply with President Donald Trump’s political agenda. The White House late Tuesday confirmed the funding pauses to both schools, but offered no further details on what it entails, or what grants to the schools are being affected. The moves come as the Trump administration has increasingly begun using governmental grant funding as a spigot to try and influence campus policy.
