Brown University reached an agreement with the Trump administration.
As part of the deal, Brown made commitments “on women’s sports, antisemitism and admissions practices and a promise to donate $50 million to workforce development programs.”
In return, the Trump administration will restore research grant funding to Brown University.
Brown University has cut a deal with the Trump administration to restore research grant funding to the school, in exchange for commitments on women’s sports, antisemitism and admissions practices and a promise to donate $50 million to workforce development programs.
The Rhode Island-based school is now the third Ivy League university to reach a deal with the administration, which has lashed out at a range of colleges. Columbia University agreed to pay the federal government a $200 million settlement earlier this month, and the University of Pennsylvania reached a deal with the government over transgender athletes.

Under the terms of the three-year deal released by Brown, the federal government agreed to restore frozen Health and Human Services grants to the school and close pending federal non-discrimination investigations into the university.
The school said Wednesday it has lost dozens of federal grants and hasn’t been reimbursed for over $50 million in expenses related to National Institutes of Health grants — and that total is growing by over $3 million a week.
Brown is not making any payments or fines to the federal government.
Brown is not making “any payments or fines to the federal government,” Paxson said in a letter to the university community.
That’s different from Columbia’s deal, under which the school will pay $200 million to the US Treasury over three years and an additional $21 million to settle US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission investigations.
Paxson touted the deal as a voluntary agreement that preserves Brown’s mission, noting that it does not give the government the “authority to dictate Brown’s curriculum or the content of academic speech.” And supporting workforce development organizations, she said, is “aligned with our service and community engagement mission.” Workforce development and career training programs have also been a priority for the Trump administration.
Another win for the Trump administration.
