The Trump administration is threatening to pull billions of dollars in funding from top universities across the country.
Last week, it froze $1 billion meant for Cornell University and $750 million meant for Northwestern University. The two schools are currently being investigated for alleged antisemitism on campus.
And last month, the administration canceled $400 million in grants and contracts for Columbia University also over allegations of antisemitism on campus. President Trump has since targeted other universities including Brown, Harvard, and Princeton.
We continue our "If You Can Keep It" series with a look at the higher education funding under the Trump administration.
