Donald Trump has just settled another dispute that ended with a multimillion-dollar payment. This time, Northwestern University agreed with the Trump administration to give $75 million to the U.S. Treasury’s general fund.
The announcement came through an inter-agency statement that included the Department of Justice, the Department of Health and Human Services, and the Department of Education. Attorney General Pam Bondi released a statement saying, “Today’s settlement marks another victory in the Trump Administration’s fight to ensure that American educational institutions protect Jewish students and put merit first. Institutions that accept federal funds are obligated to follow civil rights law — we are grateful to Northwestern for negotiating this historic deal.”
