About $ 510 million in federal contracts and grants are on the line, the official said, which was not authorized to speak publicly about the plan and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
In an email on Thursday, the leaders of the campus, Brown Provost Frank Doyle said that the university knew about “troubled rumors” about government action on its research money. “At this time, we have no information to certify any of these rumors,” said Dial.
The administration of President Donald Trump stopped the research grant at Princeton University. Dozens of universities are facing federal inquiry into antisemitism following a wave of pro-Filistini protests last year, but the administration has paid special attention to elite colleges.
The University of Columbia was previously a target, with a decrease of $ 400 million in federal funds and with dangers to finish more if it does not make the campus safe for Jewish students. The school last month agreed to several demands from the government, including an overhaul of student discipline rules and reviews of the Middle East Studies Department of the school.
Trump’s administration has promised a more aggressive approach against the campus antisemitism, accusing the former President Joe Biden of going away from the hooks. It has conducted new investigations in colleges and detained and deported several foreign students with anti -Palestinian protests.
