Report: Trump Pausing $210 Million in Federal Funding to Princeton
The investigation started in April 2024 after Campus Reform editor-in-chief Zachary Marshall filed a complaint about antisemitism on campus.
The Daily Caller’s Reagan Reese posted on X that President Donald Trump’s administration will pause $210 million in federal funding to Princeton:
The funds are being paused while the admin investigates antisemitism on campus. The decision is not the culmination of the investigation, an official shares.
“Princeton has perpetuated racist and anti-semitic policies,” an admin official told the Caller.
The investigation opened dates back to Biden. Biden’s Department of Education opened an investigation in 2024 following a Civil Rights complaint from Zachary Marschall, the editor-in-chief of the conservative website Campus Reform.
Marschall alleges in his complaint that the university failed to respond to campus anti-Semitism. The complaint alleges that at an Oct. 25, 2023, walkout in which students supported Palestine, they chanted “Brick by brick, wall by wall, apartheid has got to fall.”

The investigation started in April 2024 after Campus Reform editor-in-chief Zachary Marshall filed a complaint about antisemitism on campus.
Marshall cited many incidents on campus since October 7, 2023. He stressed the time when 400 people chanted “Intifada” and “Brick by brick, wall by wall, apartheid has got to fall” during a protest on October 25, 2023.
Princeton is also one of 60 universities Trump’s Department of Education has been investigating for “antisemitic harassment and discrimination.”
A few examples:
- Princeton Students on Hunger Strike for Palestine Complain School Officials Not Monitoring Their Health
- Eighteen Faculty Members at Princeton Pen Letter Endorsing the Anti-Israel BDS Movement
- Anti-Israel Princeton Students Try to Stop Memorial Day Parade

Burn it all down. Well half of it. Keep hard science and engineering and burn down the rest especially the “studies” and law school.
Princeton doesn’t have a law school. On the flip side, Eisgruber is about the worst of the worst.
No law school. A positive in their favor. They also renamed the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs by removing Woodrow Wilson’s name. Another positive.
Not sure I agree there. What distinction does it have aside from that name? I walked thru it once. It’s just a leftist hellhole, looks like 100% lefty Democrat. Every professor has some type of lefty slogan or cartoon on their office door.
Woodrow Wilson was a lying presidential candidate who put us into WW1 after his reelection after saying he would not, but as far as I know he was a much better president of Princeton than Eisgruber is.
Woodrow Wilson was a progressive. He was also racist and I believe antisemitic. His government clamped down on all opposition to WW1. He would have been right at home in the Soviet government.
It occurs to me that China might have been right about their cultural revolution when they cracked down on their ivy league professors dumping them into study sessions and sending them out to farm. Kinda makes you want to do that to many of our pampered privileged professors.
You’re right that it was effective and to be effective, one can learn much from them. We should not be shy. There is much ground to take back.
You leave out that the communists then are same as the communists now. We are the ones who were humiliated and tortured, sometimes to death, and financially ruined.
The very least we can do is pull the left’s funding that is within our discretion, all of it. Impeach judges who tell us that we don’t have the power to do it when we clearly do.
Why the hell are we funding them in the first place?
Let them use their endowments to guarantee their student loans.
I bet we would see much more actual education.
After reading HotAir’s article on Social Security findings.
KEEP DIGGING and KEEP GUTTING!!!!!!!
Everything we have been told for the past 20 years has been a lie.
That’s what we get for letting an illegal alien who outstayed his student visa to be president 3 times.
Well, I admit that one of those times was when he let his decrepit VP sit in the Oval Office during the third term while the real president hid behind the curtain.
a cease fire with the leftists only allows them to get stronger
take it away now
no going back to government over the people
Just the thought of making these elitist Marxist SOBs uncomfortable makes me smile.
I’ll drink to that.
Why is Princeton even getting $210 million?
Why is the US taxpayers funding any Cultural Marxist Seminary?
Why is the US taxpayer funding ANY private university? Rich kids, rich parents, rich benefactors from rich countries, rich endowments. It has long been accepted that primary/secondary education is a public obligation, But the cost of higher education is an individual responsibility, none of which is an obligation to the public.
