The Trump administration is halting over $500 million in federal funding to Brown University due to the Ivy League's response to antisemitism since Hamas' 2023 attack in Israel. This comes as part of the administration's efforts to address campus antisemitism and hold universities accountable for their handling of anti-Israel protests. Columbia University and other Ivy League schools have also had funding suspended for similar reasons. The Department of Homeland Security has also taken action to detain and deport foreign students involved in anti-Israel protests. Brown University has faced controversy in the past for its handling of anti-Israel demonstrations on campus.
