Washington — The Trump administration plans to freeze $510 million in federal grants to Brown University while it reviews the school’s response to antisemitism and its efforts to eliminate diversity policies, the White House confirmed Thursday.
Brown, however, said it was unaware of the funding freeze.
“At this moment, we have no information to substantiate any of these rumors,” Brown’s provost Frank Doyle wrote in a message to academic leaders Thursday. “We are closely monitoring notifications related to grants, but have nothing more we can share as of now.”
The Daily Caller first reported news of the potential freeze.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
