Trump administration reaches deal with Northwestern University to restore funding

(Reuters) -U.S. President ​Donald Trump's administration ‌on Friday said it has reached ‌an agreement with Northwestern University to restore hundreds of millions of dollars in research ⁠funds and ‌close pending investigations into the school.

The Chicago-area ‍university will pay $75 million to the U.S. government ​as part of the ‌deal, the U.S. Justice Department said in a statement.

The Trump administration in April froze nearly $800 ⁠million in research ​funding for Northwestern ​after Republicans in the House of Representatives accused ‍the university ⁠of not doing enough to address antisemitism, including ⁠during campus protests against the ‌Gaza war.
