A spokesperson for Northwestern told The Post they haven't received any notice from the federal government regarding a funding freeze — stating they were informed of President Trump's supposed decision by members of the media.
''Federal funds that Northwestern receives drives innovative and life-saving research, like the recent development by Northwestern researchers of the world's smallest pacemaker, and research fueling the fight against Alzheimer's disease,'' the rep for Illinois institution said.
''This type of research is now at jeopardy. The University has fully cooperated with investigations by both the Department of Education and Congress.''
Both Cornell and Northwestern were both included on a list of 60 colleges and universities that the Department of Education's civil rights arm warned earlier this month could have federal funding taken away over alleged antisemitic discrimination and harassment on campus.
The institutions and shamed included six of the eight Ivy League institutions — Brown, Columbia, Cornell, Harvard, Princeton and Yale — and local schools Rutgers, Rutgers-Newark, Sarah Lawrence, three branches of the State University of New York, The New School and Wellesley.
