Funding Freeze for Brown University Amid Federal Scrutiny
The Trump administration is set to halt over $510 million in federal funding to Brown University, as reported by multiple sources. This decision comes amidst ongoing investigations and scrutiny over allegations of antisemitism on university campuses, which has also led to significant funding cuts for Princeton University. As discussions unfold, members of the Brown Corporation have praised the university’s efforts to protect Jewish life during this challenging time. The funding freeze underscores a broader trend of federal pressure on elite universities, including both Brown and Princeton, as they navigate complex political landscapes and rising scrutiny over campus policies.
