Brown University secures $50 million deal, aligns with federal education policies

Brown University has successfully negotiated a $50 million agreement with the Trump administration to reinstate federal research funding. This resolution also ends federal investigations into the university's practices.

In exchange for the funding, Brown must adhere to specific policies regarding admissions and transgender student recognition, aligning with the administration's directives. This marks Brown as the third Ivy League institution to reach such a settlement within the month, following similar agreements by Columbia University and the University of Pennsylvania.

The deal not only restores crucial financial support but also reflects broader governmental efforts to influence higher education policies across the nation.
