US EditionNorthwestern University to pay $75 million to federal government to settle antisemitism claims, restore frozen funds
Northwestern will pay a $75 million fine and implement mandatory antisemitism training to end investigations and restore nearly $790 million in frozen federal research funds.
- On Friday, Northwestern University and the U.S. federal government reached a three-year agreement restoring federal research funding, ending investigations, and requiring a $75 million payment to the U.S. Treasury.
- After the government froze funding in April, the Trump administration halted about $790 million amid Education Department probes, causing over 100 stop-work orders and political pressure from congressional Republicans.
- The deal binds Northwestern University to antisemitism training, clearer protest policies, international admissions review, Deering Meadow agreement termination, a Board of Trustees compliance committee, quarterly NU president and chair verifications, and adherence to Title IX obligations.
- Restored federal support will affect faculty, staff and research after Northwestern expects funding to resume within days and be fully restored within 30 days, according to Interim President Henry Bienen.
- The deal joins similar settlements at Columbia University, Cornell University, and Brown University, with Attorney General Pamela Bondi saying, `Institutions that accept federal funds are obligated to follow civil rights law we are grateful to Northwestern for negotiating this historic deal.
