Northwestern University Reaches $75 Million Agreement with Trump Administration to Restore Federal Funding
Northwestern University has finalized a $75 million deal with the Trump administration to regain access to federal funding that was previously frozen. This agreement is aimed at resolving ongoing investigations into allegations of antisemitism and civil rights violations at the university. As part of the settlement, Northwestern will pay the specified amount to the U.S. government, which will facilitate the unfreezing of approximately $790 million in federal aid. This agreement aligns with similar settlements reached by other universities with the Trump administration, emphasizing the increasing scrutiny on institutions regarding their adherence to civil rights and funding regulations.
