Brown University reaches settlement deal after ‘anti-Semitism’ row
Brown University has become the third Ivy League campus to reach a deal with the Donald Trump administration, which among other things, has accused the country’s top universities of “anti-Semitism” because their students organised pro-Palestine protests.
As part of the deal, Brown will pay $50m over 10 years to improve Rhode Island’s workforce development programmes.
It will also commit to supporting its local Jewish community and restricting its acknowledgement of transgender students.
