Brown University faces $510 million funding freeze as Trump administration targets antisemitism on campuses
The Trump administration is set to freeze $510 million in federal funding for Brown University amid concerns over antisemitism on campus. This follows a broader effort to scrutinise U.S. universities' responses to pro-Palestinian protests and their treatment of Jewish students. The university has denied knowledge of the freeze, and experts worry it could significantly impact academic research. Brown is the latest institution in a series of universities targeted for similar actions by the administration.
