President Donald Trump has escalated his attacks on America's elite colleges amid ongoing investigations into allegations of antisemitism after anti-Israel protests spread across the country's campuses. The administration announced on Tuesday that it had frozen over $1 billion in funding from Cornell University and $790 million from Northwestern University amid 'several ongoing credible and concerning Title IV investigations.' Both Cornell and Northwestern were included in a list of 60 universities that the Trump administration warned last month could face enforcement actions if a review determined the schools had failed to quell the antisemitism on its campuses. In addition to Cornell, Northwestern and Columbia, Trump has also reportedly halted $210 million in grants and contracts to Princeton and $510 million to Brown in response to antisemitism allegations.
