The Trump administration is threatening to pull billions of dollars in funding from top universities across the country.
Last week, it froze $1 billion meant for Cornell University and $750 million meant for Northwestern University. The two schools are currently being investigated for alleged antisemitism on campus.
And last month, the administration canceled $400 million in grants and contracts for Columbia University also over allegations of antisemitism on campus. President Trump has since targeted other universities including Brown, Harvard, and Princeton.
We continue our "If You Can Keep It" series with a look at the higher education funding under the Trump administration.
As the world races to curb climate change, scientists are taking aim at cows, a surprisingly potent source of greenhouse gases.

Donald Trump just walked back key tariffs on Chinese electronics — but his Commerce Secretary, Howard Lutnick, is still out on a full-throated pro-tariff tour, as if nothing happened. To make sense of Trump’s strategy (or improvisation), Mike turns to Yale Business School professor Barry Nalebuff, who finds the approach confusing because it doesn't align with what appear to be Trump’s actual goals. Meanwhile, in the Spiel, the British are squawking about a different kind of chicken — the chlorinated kind — with tabloids clucking and trade talks at risk of being deep-fried.
Measles is an extremely contagious disease. It's also extremely preventable. There's a vaccine. It's highly effective.
For decades it has made measles outbreaks in the U.S. relatively rare, and measles deaths rarer still. But the U.S. has now seen more than 700 measles cases this year, and 3 deaths so far with active outbreaks across six states.
The federal response is under scrutiny because Health and Human Services Secretary, Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. has made a career spreading false information about vaccines.
What are this administration's views on vaccines, and what do they mean for what is already one of the worst U.S. measles outbreaks this century.
Kennedy publicly promised he would support vaccines. Dr. Peter Marks, who was forced out as the nation's top vaccine regulator says his department isn't doing enough.

Victor Davis Hanson explores the growing backlash—and the serious financial and legal levers the government could use to hold these schools accountable—on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”
“ [Universities] predicated their budgets on federal monies. But the Trump administration says, 'You're not obeying the First or the Fourth or Fifth or Sixth Amendments. You're not guaranteeing the Bill of Rights to your own students. You're allowing antisemitism in the year 2025 as if it's the 19th century or something. What are you doing?' And the universities seem to ignore it."
