The American Jewish Committee stated that the "broad, sweeping and devastating cuts in federal funding" to a growing number of universities "will damage America’s standing as a center of innovation and research excellence"
After auditing $9 billion in federal grants and contracts to Harvard University, cutting $500 million from Brown University, $400 million from Columbia University and $210 million to Princeton University over alleged mishandling of Jew-hatred on campus, the Trump administration has reportedly frozen $1 billion in federal funding at Cornell University and $790 million at Northwestern University, multiple publications reported.
The White House cited civil rights violations at the New York and Illinois private schools, reportedly. The Trump administration has not commented on the reports. Cornell told Fox News that it learned about the freeze from news reports but hadn’t heard from the administration.
The New York Times reported that two Trump administration officials confirmed that the funding was frozen from Cornell and Northwestern and that the paused monies relate to funding from the U.S. Departments of Agriculture, Defense, Education and Health and Human Services.
