The Trump administration plans to halt over half a billion dollars in contracts and grants awarded to Brown University due to their response to antisemitism, according to a White House official. This would make Brown the fifth Ivy League college to have their federal funding threatened. The pressure on colleges to address antisemitism has led to investigations and funding suspensions at other universities as well. U.S. colleges rely on federal research funding as a major source of revenue, creating a dilemma for them. The Trump administration has promised a more aggressive approach against campus antisemitism.
