US official: $510 million in grants for Brown to be frozen over campus antisemitism

[IsraelTimes] The Trump administration is planning to halt more than half a billion dollars in contracts and grants awarded to Brown University, adding to a list of Ivy League colleges that have had their federal money threatened as a result of their responses to antisemitism, a White House official said Thursday.

Nearly $510 million in federal contracts and grants are on the line, said the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the plan and spoke on condition of anonymity.

Separately, the US government set conditions that Harvard University must meet — including a mask ban and removal of diversity, equity and inclusion programs — to receive federal money. The conditions to Harvard were revealed in a letter seen by Reuters and the university confirmed receiving the letter.

In an email Thursday to campus leaders, Brown Provost Frank Doyle said the university was aware of “troubling rumors” about government action on its research money. “At this moment, we have no information to substantiate any of these rumors,” Doyle said.

Brown would be the fifth Ivy League college targeted by President Donald Trump’s administration, which is using federal money to enforce its agenda at colleges. Dozens of universities — including every Ivy League school except Penn and Dartmouth — are facing federal investigations into antisemitism following a wave of pro-Palestinian protests against Israel last year.

During last school year’s campus protests against Israel over the Gaza war, which was sparked by Hamas’s October 2023 terror onslaught, Brown stood out for a deal it struck with student activists. In exchange for the students’ dismantling an encampment, the university committed to having its governing board vote on whether to divest from companies that protesters said were facilitating Israeli military control of Palestinian territories.

The Corporation of Brown rejected the divestment proposal.

#2 Which makes me wonder, why were they getting half a billion anyways?

Is the business model to train and place tomorrow's administrators in return they will funnel taxpayer money back into the hive?

#3 ^ Some money to the University [wash] gets channeled to research grants [wash] which are run by donors [wash], institutions [wash] and political friends [wash] who feed it back in party donations and affiliated NGOs below the audit cap.

I ran afoul of a unregulated, unaudited University 'lending bank' which 'loaned' money for tuition, books and rent to foreign students with no local assets or domestic address who were thereby unable to get classic college loans.

#4 So then if one wanted to influence the moronic children of rich people, that money could be used to pay an agent's expenses while that agent, under the guise of a student, sets up cells.

Then those tainted automatons get placed in key positions because family name and college pedigree.

I feel like I'm kind of close on this.
