US EditionWhite House confirms ongoing deal negotiations with Northwestern to restore federal funding
Northwestern would pay a $75 million fine while regaining frozen federal funds amid an investigation into antisemitism, with a final deal expected soon, officials said.
- The White House confirmed Nov. 26 negotiations with Northwestern to restore hundreds of millions in frozen funds and require NU to pay $75 million, reported the New York Times.
- The funding freeze stems from the Trump administration halting about $790 million amid a U.S. Department of Education probe, leaving more than $1.06 billion in NIH and NSF awards unpaid.
- After the freeze, Northwestern cut staff, eliminating more than 400 positions in July, while Interim President Henry Bienen said he sought a deal but would not sign terms hindering autonomy and the NU Faculty Assembly opposed capitulation.
- Officials confirmed negotiations are ongoing and a U.S. Department of Education official said the parties are making progress; if finalized, Northwestern would join Columbia University, Cornell University, Brown University, University of Virginia, and University of Pennsylvania.
- The administration's broader stance shows a $75 million payment would be the second-highest university fine after Columbia University's more than $200 million settlement, reflecting recent deals with other elite universities.
