Northwestern University reached an agreement with the Trump administration that unlocks nearly $800 million in previously frozen federal research funding while imposing new compliance and reporting obligations on the university. The pact demands detailed admissions data, expanded enforcement of demonstration policies, a campus-climate survey on antisemitism, and a $75 million payment to the government. The Education Department and Justice Department had suspended funds over allegations the school created a hostile environment for Jewish students after pro‑Palestinian protests. The agreement specifically asks that Northwestern collect extra information from international applicants and make disciplinary records available on request, a provision campus advocates say singles out foreign students and raises civil‑liberties concerns.
