Washington — The Trump administration plans to freeze $510 million in federal grants to Brown University while it reviews the school's response to antisemitism and its efforts to eliminate diversity policies, the White House confirmed Thursday. Brown, however, said it was unaware of the funding freeze. "At this moment, we have no information to substantiate any of these rumors," Brown's provost Frank Doyle wrote in a message to academic leaders Thursday.
Main Idea: The Trump administration plans to freeze $510 million in federal grants to Brown University as it reviews the school’s response to antisemitism and diversity policies.
Key Points:
