The Trump administration is preparing to halt approximately $510 million in federal contracts and grants awarded to Brown University as it reviews the institution’s handling of anti-Semitism, a White House official said on Thursday.

This would make Brown the fifth Ivy League school targeted by the administration’s use of federal funding to address its concerns over anti-Semitism at colleges.
