Brown University has reached a deal with the Trump administration under which it will pay $50 million to restore lost federal funding.
The $50 million payout will go to workforce development organizations in Rhode Island. In exchange, the Ivy League university will have federal research funding restored, and the administration will end investigations into alleged discrimination at the university.
Under the deal, Brown will adopt the government’s definition of “male” and “female” in line with an executive order signed by President Donald Trump. That order defined the terms by one’s sex.
The university will also remove any consideration of race from the admissions process….
