‘Extortion Dressed Up In The Language of Contracts’: Cornell Professors Weigh In On Settlement
Following a freeze of over $250 million from the federal government, the University announced its settlement — a legally binding agreement that ended the freeze and resulted in the dismissal of any pending civil rights investigations — with the Trump administration on Nov. 7.
The settlement restored all funding for grants that were paused and those that were yet to be funded and ended all ongoing Civil Rights Title VI investigations into Cornell from the federal government.
