The Trump administration has suspended multiple federal research grants to Princeton University amid ongoing investigations into antisemitism claims at elite institutions. President Christopher L. Eisgruber expressed a commitment to combating discrimination while vowing to uphold academic freedom. This grant freeze follows similar measures taken against other universities, including Columbia, which has faced legal challenges related to grant suspensions affecting critical medical research. The full implications of the funding cuts remain ambiguous, raising significant concerns among institutions about their autonomy and research capabilities.
"We are committed to fighting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and we will cooperate with the government in combating antisemitism," said Eisgruber.
"The full rationale of this action is not yet clear," he added, referring to the suspension of federal grants.
