Trump administration extorts $60 million from Cornell University.

Cornell University has reached a $60 million deal with the Trump administration to restore over $250 million in federal funding, including $30 million in payments to the federal government and $30 million in research investments for US farmers. The agreement also includes provisions for anonymized undergraduate admissions data audits and annual campus climate surveys. In return, the federal government will restore all terminated funding and close pending investigations. This deal is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to influence campus oversight and federal funding at Ivy League universities.
