Brown University strikes $50m deal to end Trump administration pressure over funds restoration

Brown University, besieged by the Trump administration's pressure campaign against the country's most elite schools, struck a deal with the government on Wednesday, becoming the third Ivy League university in a month to reach an agreement with the White House. The agreement, a copy of which Brown made public, calls for the university to make $50 million in payments to state workforce development programs over a decade and requires Brown to comply with the Trump administration's vision on matters like transgender athletes and "merit-based" admissions policies.
