Cornell University agreed on Friday to a $60 million deal with the Trump administration that restores more than $250 million in federal funding to the Ivy League school and ends its diversity, equity, and inclusion policies.
Under the deal, Cornell will invest $30 million over three years to bolster the nation’s agricultural research and pay another $30 million to the federal government over the same period. The latter payment serves as a condition for the Trump administration to end its pending civil rights claims against the university.
