Nov. 7 (UPI) -- Cornell University on Friday reached an agreement with the Trump administration to allocate $60 million that would end government investigations and restore several hundred million dollars in research funding for the private school.
Cornell has now joined four other elite universities in making deals.
The allegations stem from accusations of anti-Semitism and admissions discrimination. Cornell, located in Ithaca, N.Y., settled after Brown University, Columbia University, the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Virginia.
Cornell reached the deal with the Department of Justice, Department of Education and Department of Health and Human Services that "will protect Cornell's students from violations of federal civil rights laws, including from discrimination based on race, sex, or national origin, and promote America's hardworking farming and rural communities," according to a DOJ news release.
