Northwestern University agreed to pay $75 million to the U.S. Treasury and revoke a 2024 campus agreement to end a series of federal investigations into allegations of antisemitism and restore hundreds of millions in blocked research grants. The Trump administration had frozen roughly $790 million in grants; the settlement requires Northwestern to revoke the Deering Meadow accord with protesters, produce compliance training and "socialize international students," and reaffirm Title IX commitments. Interim president Henry Bienen said the university refused demands to cede control over hiring, admissions, or curriculum; Education Secretary Linda McMahon framed the deal as a model for other institutions. The agreement follows larger payments from Columbia and separate settlements by Brown and Cornell as the administration leverages federal research dollars to press campus conduct and speech reforms.
