Brown University has reached an agreement with the Trump administration to restore $50 million in research funding, resolving previous funding suspensions. This deal also settles discrimination complaints against the university. Following Brown, Columbia University finalized a $200 million settlement with the Trump administration after a prolonged dispute. Cornell University is reportedly close to a settlement with the White House valued at up to $100 million. Meanwhile, Harvard University has denied imminent settlement talks or consideration of a $500 million deal, although it is reportedly seriously considering resolving its issues with the administration. These developments come amid broader tensions between the Trump administration and several of the wealthiest U.S. colleges, with federal funding cuts pressuring universities to negotiate settlements. The administration's actions are seen as part of a wider campaign affecting higher education funding and policies.
