Trump admin. suspends $500M in funding to Brown University over antisemitism issues

The Trump administration has halted over $500 million in federal funding to Brown University due to the Ivy League school's response to antisemitism after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack on Israel. 

A White House official told The Associated Press that millions awarded to the school in grants and contracts is on the line. 

Brown Provost Frank Doyle on Thursday told campus staff in an email that the school is hearing rumors about funds being cut for the university's research, but there isn't enough "information to substantiate" these claims.

Several Ivy League schools have had funding suspended due to responses to antisemitism on campus following the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, according to Fox News.

After the war began, multiple anti-Israel protests broke out on college campuses with some students getting arrested.

Columbia University had over $400 million in federal funding revoked for not making Jewish students feel safe on campus.
