The Trump administration is poised to suspend $510 million in contracts and grants to Brown University, citing the university's insufficient action against antisemitism on campus. Brown joins other universities, including Columbia and Harvard, facing similar federal repercussions. An official from the administration indicated that the funding would be paused pending a review of the school's response to antisemitism claims. Meanwhile, Brown's provost has addressed rumors of federal action, while the university remains committed to academic freedom and compliance with federal laws regarding discrimination.
The Trump administration plans to block $510 million in federal contracts and grants for Brown University in retaliation for the university's alleged failure to address antisemitism on campus.
Brown provost Frank Doyle acknowledged troubling rumors about federal actions but noted that they had received no information to substantiate any of these rumors.
If Brown were prevented from performing essential academic and operational functions, we would be compelled to vigorously exercise our legal rights to defend these freedoms.
