""The State University of New York system has lost about $32 million in federal grants due to the Trump administration's cuts, system chancellor John B. King announced last week, according to Spectrum News 1. That's out of about $700 million in federal grant funding that the system receives annually. Some of those cuts were due to the administration eliminating grants for projects that it considers to be related to diversity, equity and inclusion.""
""In some cases, those grants were cut precisely because of the commitment we have to diversity, equity and inclusion," said King, a former education secretary who has been critical of the Trump administration's crackdown on anything it considers DEI. "Many are research grants, so you're talking about research into things like cancer and innovations that will drive economic development in the state.""
The State University of New York lost about $32 million in federal grants as a result of cuts by the Trump administration. The lost funding represents part of roughly $700 million in federal grant support that the system receives annually. Several grants were eliminated because the administration determined they were related to diversity, equity and inclusion. Many of the affected awards were research grants supporting work such as cancer research and innovation projects that contribute to state economic development. The system had previously projected a potential $79 million loss tied specifically to National Institutes of Health cuts.
