Northwestern University on Friday agreed to pay $75 million to the Trump administration to end its investigation into alleged antisemitism on campus and to resume millions of dollars in federal funding that was previously frozen.
The university will “adhere to federal anti-discrimination laws, ensuring that the university does not preference individuals based on race, color, or national origin in admissions, scholarships, hiring, or promotion,” the Department of Justice (DOJ) said in a press release.
“Northwestern shall maintain clear policies and procedures relating to demonstrations, protests, displays, and other expressive activities, as well as implement mandatory antisemitism training for all students, faculty, and staff,” the statement continued.
In fulfilling its agreement with DOJ, the Education Department and Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Northwestern will be eligible for contracts and future grants. It will pay the $75 million to the federal government through 2028, according to the administration.
