The Trump administration is expected to break $ 510 million for Brown University

The Trump administration intends to block $ 510 million in federal contracts and subsidies for Brown University, expanding its campaign to hold universities responsible for what it says is relentless anti -Semitism on campus, according to two white house officials known with plans.

Brown has become the fifth university known to deal with a potentially disastrous loss of federal funding, leaving other universities that the administration has aimed to wonder when their turn could happen.

If the administration takes a break of $ 510 million, even over a period of years, the consequences for Brown could be significant. During his financial year 2024, Brown received around $ 184 million thanks to federal subsidies and contracts.

In an email to campus leaders Thursday, the Brown provost, Frank Doyle, said that the university was aware of “disturbing rumors emerging on federal action on research subsidies on brown”. But he said that the university had “no information to support any of these rumors”.

The daily was the first to report the break.

The new Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, was explicit on the emphasis put by the administration on elite universities, which Mr. Trump criticized as bastions of left thought. She said that taxpayers’ support is a “privilege” that can be withdrawn if universities do not adhere to the civil rights law.

Like many of his Ivy League peers, Brown was the infiltration site beyond the war in Gaza. But it was also one of the small universities that made agreements with the students to end their protest camps in the spring, agreements that were criticized to be too soft for students.
