#Cornell Reaches Deal with #Trump Admin to Restore #Research #Funding

The Ivy League #university had warned of #layoffs after the Trump admin stripped it of funds this year. The cuts were among the deepest in higher #education.

“We have been using institutional resources to try to plug these #funding holes in the short term, but these interim measures are not sustainable,” #university leaders wrote. “We must immediately address our significant financial shortfalls by reducing costs & enacting permanent change to our operational model.”

The agreement with #Cornell is the fifth that the #Trump admin has announced since early July in connection with its pressure campaign against top #schools.

#law #AcademicFreedom

In June, #Cornell University leaders warned that they anticipated #layoffs & had begun what they described as “a comprehensive review of programs & head count across the university,” where the work force had climbed by more than 15% in about 4 years.

The suspension of federal #funding turned that #growth into a #crisis.

In April, the #Trump admin abruptly froze planned federal #research #funding for the #university. The govt had been scrutinizing #Cornell after accusing it of racial discrimination & antisemitism, & the university acknowledged receiving dozens of stop-work orders.

University leaders made clear that the #school was feeling extraordinary financial strain. The university has been considering issuing about $1 billion in bonds.

#law #FirstAmendment #AcademicFreedom #extortion #Autocracy #fascism

#Cornell University reached an agreement with the #Trump admin Friday that would restore hundreds of millions in federal #funding to the #university, acc/to university & govt ofcls.

The agreement would also end government *investigations* that have placed the #school under months of federal scrutiny over accusations of *antisemitism* [ #FreeSpeech] & *discrimination* [ #diversity initiatives] in admissions.
