Cornell University has reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay the government a $30 million settlement-and invest another $30 million in agricultural research-in exchange for having its frozen federal research funding restored. The agreement, announced Friday, makes Cornell the latest institution to strike a deal with the federal government in an effort to settle investigations into alleged civil rights violations. The settlement follows similar arrangements at the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia University, Brown University and the University of Virginia.
