The Donald Trump administration has frozen over $1 billion in federal funding for Cornell University. According to the White House, about $790 million has also been frozen for Northwestern University to enable investigations into alleged civil rights violations.

The Trump administration warned 60 colleges and universities last month that they were under investigation for antisemitic harassment and discrimination. Northwestern and Cornell were on the list and both occupied positions of prominence in the wave of pro-Palestinian advocacy on campus amid the Israel-Hamas war.

The Trump administration has frozen funding for Cornell and Northwestern universities while it investigates both schools over civil rights violations, a U.S. official said.
