Trump Administration Revokes $2.08 Billion in Federal Funding from Cornell, Northwestern, and Columbia Over Discrimination Claims

Published on 4.10.25

  The Trump administration has taken action against several universities over allegations of discrimination on campus. Columbia University had its $400 million in federal funding revoked last year due to inadequate handling of protests, while Cornell and Northwestern universities have had their grants and contracts frozen. This move affects substantial sums for these institutions: $1.05 billion for Cornell and $790 million for Northwestern. The administration's actions emphasize the importance of upholding civil rights in education and maintaining a fair and inclusive learning environment. The implications of these decisions are far-reaching, as they set a precedent for other institutions to prioritize equal opportunities and respect student rights.
