"Donald Trump's administration had cut off $790m in grants in a standoff that contributed to university layoffs and the resignation in September of Northwestern's president, Michael Schill. The administration argued the school had not done enough to fight antisemitism. Under the agreement announced on Friday night, Northwestern will make the payment to the US treasury over the next three years."
"The agreement also calls for Northwestern to continue compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws, develop training materials to socialize international students with the norms of a campus dedicated to open debate, and uphold a commitment to Title IX by providing safe and fair opportunities for women, including single-sex housing for any woman, defined on the basis of sex, who requests such accommodations and all-female sports, locker rooms, and showering facilities."
Northwestern University agreed to pay $75m to the US government to end multiple investigations and restore hundreds of millions in federal research grants. The Trump administration had frozen $790m in grants, citing insufficient action against antisemitism, a move that prompted layoffs and the resignation of president Michael Schill. The settlement requires payment to the US Treasury over three years and revocation of the Deering Meadow agreement made after pro-Palestinian encampments. Northwestern refused to cede control over hiring, admissions, or curriculum. The deal mandates compliance with federal anti-discrimination laws, training for international students on campus norms, and Title IX protections including single-sex housing and all-female facilities.
