Northwestern University has reached a $75-million deal with the Trump administration which restores frozen federal funding and ends an antisemitism investigation, the Department of Justice introduced Friday.
“Northwestern agrees to adhere to federal anti-discrimination laws, ensuring that the university does not preference individuals based on race, color, or national origin in admissions, scholarships, hiring, or promotion,” the Justice Department mentioned in a information launch. “Northwestern shall maintain clear policies and procedures relating to demonstrations, protests, displays, and other expressive activities, as well as implement mandatory antisemitism training for all students, faculty, and staff.”
The college noticed the Trump administration freeze $790 million in federal funding earlier this yr – which a White House official advised NCS was related to a number of Title VI investigations.
“The United States shall close pending investigations and treat Northwestern as eligible for future grants, contracts, and awards,” the DOJ mentioned Friday.
NCS has reached out to Northwestern and the White House for additional data.
This is a growing story and might be up to date.
