<p>Princeton University said on Tuesday that the Trump administration has stopped the funding for dozens of research grants as President Donald Trump pushes Ivy League schools to do more to crack down on anti-Semitism and Left-wing radicalism.</p>
<p>Princeton&#8217;s president, Chris Eisgruber, wrote in an email to staff and students that the university received notices from government agencies, including the Energy Department, Defense Department, and NASA, that &#8220;several dozen&#8221; research grants were losing funding, The Wall Street Journal <a href="https://www.wsj.com/us-news/education/princeton-trump-administration-research-grant-funding-cut-2d49fdf9" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>Princeton did not specify how much money the federal government was cutting off, but according to <a href="https://x.com/reaganreese_/status/1906862605773468078" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Daily Caller</a> — which cited an administration official — the pause affects $210 million in funding.</p>
<p>Eisgruber wrote in the email, “The full rationale for this action is not yet clear.”</p>
<p>&#8220;Princeton University will comply with the law. We are committed to fighting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and we will cooperate with the government in combating antisemitism,&#8221; Eisgruber <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/01/us/trump-federal-grants-princeton.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">added</a>. &#8220;Princeton will also vigorously defend academic freedom and the due process rights of this university.&#8221;</p>
<p>In the spring semester of 2024, student protesters set up a &#8220;Gaza Solidarity Encampment&#8221; at Princeton to protest Israel&#8217;s response to Hamas&#8217; October 7, 2023, terrorist attack. A few weeks after the terrorist attack on Israel, a group of students on Princeton&#8217;s campus was captured on video <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/princeton-students-chant-call-for-murdering-jews" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chanting</a>, &#8220;Long live the intifada.&#8221; The Biden administration launched an investigation into Princeton last year following a civil rights complaint alleging the university failed to defend Jewish students from anti-Semitism on campus.</p>
<p>Princeton marks the fourth Ivy League school where the Trump administration is either reviewing or putting a pause on federal funding after anti-Israel protests popped up on numerous college campuses last year. Last month, the president pulled $400 million in grants and contracts with Columbia University, where anti-Israel agitators disrupted campus life and illegally occupied a school building. After its funding was paused, Columbia <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/columbia-university-agrees-to-trumps-demands-to-ban-masks-empower-campus-police" target="_blank" rel="noopener">agreed</a> to multiple demands from the Trump administration, such as banning masks from being worn on campus for anything other than health or religious reasons and empowering 36 campus police officers to arrest student agitators.</p>
<p>The Trump administration also paused around $175 million in funding for the University of Pennsylvania for the school&#8217;s swim team for allowing trans-identifying male swimmer Lia Thomas to compete on the women&#8217;s team. On Monday, Trump set his sights on Harvard as the federal government began reviewing the $9 billion the university receives in federal grants and contracts.</p>
