🚨🇺🇸 TRUMP TO FREEZE $510M IN FEDERAL FUNDS TO BROWN UNIVERSITY
Trump is reportedly preparing to freeze $510 million in federal contracts and grants to Brown University over antisemitism concerns.
Brown officials say they’ve received no official notice, though campus leadership is monitoring “troubling rumors.”
Brown received over $254 million in federal research money last year alone.
Losing access to NIH, DOD, VA, and NASA funds could devastate Rhode Island’s economy.
The move follows earlier threats to 60 schools regarding protection of Jewish students.
Brown President Christina Paxson has warned these federal demands threaten academic freedom.
Cuts come amid Brown’s $46M structural deficit and rising political pressure on elite universities.
