The Trump administration has halted the release of over $1 billion in federal funds earmarked for Cornell University, along with $790 million intended for Northwestern University. This decision comes as a direct result of civil rights probes currently underway at both institutions.
“The money was frozen in connection with several ongoing, credible, and concerning Title VI investigations,” a Trump admin official told Fox News.
According to two administration sources who spoke to the New York Times, the funding freeze primarily targets grants and contracts from several major federal departments, including Agriculture, Defense, Education, and Health and Human Services.
This action marks the most recent effort by the Trump administration to withhold financial support from top-tier academic institutions amid concerns they are not adhering to federal anti-discrimination regulations.

Trump rules. A letter write on another Jewish website criticized Trump tariff costs. Meanwhile, he deserves all Jews’ support for supporting Israel totally, unlike Biden, for going after anti Semites in the US, and gor moving the largest number of US assets into the Middle East to force Iran into giving up nukes. WHo would have done that? Not Obama, not Biden, Not the Camel despite her Jewish husband, not Josh SHapiro even if he had been the vp candidate. No one. OK, maybe Fetterman. Not Schumer, Schiff, Nadler and the other COurt Jews. We should make a true Mi Sheberach every Shabbos for the Manhik Hamedina Pres Trump. This is Rachmin from Shemayin to put him here in this time and place. Forget tariffs, forget cost, think higher.
