Trump Admin Goes After Funding for Princeton as Its War on Elite Universities Heats Up

The Ivy League institution revealed Tuesday that the current administration froze several dozen federal research grants, just days after threatening similar funding cuts at Harvard and Columbia.

The Department of Energy, NASA, and the Defense Department are all pausing their funding for Princeton. The university’s President Christopher Eisgruber said that the administration’s rationale was not fully clear but that Princeton would comply with the law.
