The Trump administration's recent freeze of $210 million in federal funding to Princeton University has raised significant concerns. This suspension affects roughly half of the university's federal grants for the fiscal year. President Christopher Eisgruber remarked on the funding freeze in a campus email, noting a lack of justification from federal agencies like NASA and the Departments of Defense and Energy. The action follows Eisgruber's op-ed criticizing the administration's approach to higher education. The freeze reflects a broader trend as the Trump administration has similarly limited funding to other universities, prompting fears over academic freedom.
