Northwestern University agrees to pay $75 million as part of deal with Trump administration that restores frozen funds

[In It to Win It]

Northwestern University has agreed to pay $75 million as part of a settlement with the Trump administration which restores previously frozen federal funding and ends a monthslong investigation over government allegations of “unlawful discrimination,” including “race-based admissions” and a “hostile” environment for Jewish students, the Department of Justice announced Friday.

The agreement requires Northwestern to comply with federal anti-discrimination laws, overhaul its policies on campus demonstrations, and implement mandatory antisemitism training for students, faculty and staff, conditions similar to those imposed on other campuses. The university will pay the settlement through 2028.

The university’s $790 million of federal funding was suspended earlier this year amid a Title VI civil rights investigation, part of a broader administration effort to scrutinize university policies and campus speech. The freeze was one of the largest and most disruptive imposed on any campus during the administration’s push against elite US universities.

Under the settlement, the government will “close pending investigations and treat Northwestern as eligible for future grants, contracts, and awards,” the DOJ said.
