Trump administration continues effort to fight antisemitism on university campuses

Officials at Princeton University say they received notifications in the last two days that grants were being suspended by agencies including the Department of Energy, NASA and the Defense Department, according to a campus message from President Christopher Eisgruber.

“We are committed to fighting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and we will cooperate with the government in combating antisemitism,” Eisgruber wrote.

Princeton is the latest Ivy League school to have its federal funding come under scrutiny from the Trump administration amid investigations into campus antisemitism. Columbia University last week agreed to several demands from the administration after the government cut $400 million and threatened to slash billions more.

A federal task force on antisemitism announced Monday that Harvard was facing a “comprehensive review” of almost $9 billion in federal grants and contracts.
