"Brown reached an agreement with the Trump administration last summer to restore millions of dollars in federal research funding and to end federal investigations into the institution. In exchange, the university agreed to pay $50 million to organizations in Rhode Island focused on workforce training over the next 10 years. Several other universities reached similar deals with the administration to restore federal funding, though the details of what the schools would pay vary greatly."
"According to a statement from Brown, the new grants will support programs designed to train students for in-demand jobs in education and construction. At CCRI, the $1.5 million grant will fund a new certificate program in bilingual early childhood education, with an established pipeline to the Providence public school district. The money will go to scholarships and student support, including bilingual tutoring, mentorship"
Brown University began distributing the first payments of a settlement with the Trump administration over alleged antisemitism by issuing grants to local workforce training programs. The university announced $1.5 million to the Community College of Rhode Island and $1.5 million to Building Futures, a nonprofit apprenticeship program. The CCRI grant will fund a bilingual early childhood education certificate with an established pipeline to the Providence public school district, and will support scholarships, bilingual tutoring, and mentorship. The Building Futures grant will support construction apprenticeship training. The settlement requires Brown to pay $50 million to Rhode Island workforce organizations over ten years.
