Trump Administration Freezes  Billion for Cornell and 0 Million for Northwestern, Officials Say

The Trump administration has taken drastic measures by freezing over $1 billion in funding for Cornell University and $790 million for Northwestern University as part of civil rights investigations into both institutions. This funding pause primarily impacts grants and contracts from various government departments such as Agriculture, Defense, Education, and Health and Human Services. The anonymous officials who disclosed this information highlighted that this decision is part of a broader crackdown on elite American universities, with billions of dollars in federal funds being suspended or put under review in a short period.

Both Cornell and Northwestern are under scrutiny for allegations of antisemitism and racial discrimination in their efforts to promote diversity on campus. Cornell officials expressed concern over more than 75 stop-work orders received from the Defense Department, affecting research crucial for American defense, cybersecurity, and health. The university is actively seeking clarification from federal authorities regarding the basis for these decisions.

Northwestern, a non-Ivy League university, has not been formally notified by the government about the frozen funding. The institution recently released a progress report outlining its initiatives to combat antisemitism and protect Jewish students, emphasizing the importance of federal funds for innovative research projects that contribute to advancements in various fields, including healthcare.

Both universities have cooperated with federal and congressional investigations, with Education Secretary Linda McMahon emphasizing the administration’s focus on holding elite universities accountable for civil rights compliance. The House Education Committee has specifically criticized Northwestern for legal clinics at its law school representing anti-Israel protest organizers, labeling the conduct as illegal and antisemitic.

Cornell and Northwestern were among the 60 universities warned by the Trump administration last month regarding potential enforcement actions related to allegations of antisemitism. The universities have also faced scrutiny over their responses to conflicts surrounding the war in Gaza. Despite these challenges, university officials remain committed to upholding democratic values and advancing academic excellence in the face of escalating political tensions and legal risks.

In a rapidly changing landscape for higher education institutions, Cornell and Northwestern are navigating complex investigations and navigating the delicate balance between academic freedom and civil rights compliance. As these universities continue to defend their actions and values, the impact of the funding freeze on critical research and academic programs remains a pressing concern for the entire academic community.
