In a sweeping move, the Trump administration has frozen nearly $2 billion in federal funding for several Ivy League institutions, with Cornell University facing a $1 billion cut and Northwestern University seeing a $790 million freeze. This decision is part of ongoing investigations into these schools, which have drawn criticism from the administration. The funding freezes extend to other institutions, including Princeton and Brown universities, prompting concern among faculty and students about the impact on research and academic freedom. Faculty and alumni from various universities are voicing their discontent, urging their institutions to resist these cuts and protect their educational missions.
