Northwestern agreed to pay $75 million to the federal government in a deal reached on Friday with the Trump administration that restores hundreds of millions in research funding and closes multiple investigations into antisemitism on campus.

The deal was the sixth agreement that the Trump administration had reached with an elite university, and the second-highest payment, since the White House began blocking research funding from major colleges that it viewed as out of step with its policy agenda for academia.

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that the two sides were finalizing their agreement.

Attorney General Pam Bondi hailed the deal as “another victory” for the administration in its pressure campaign, while Henry S. Bienen, Northwestern’s interim president, said the agreement ended “a deeply painful and disruptive period in our university’s history.”
