James P. Crowley: $50 Million to State Workforce Development Organizations in Rhode Island

James P. Crowley, Professor of Medicine emeritus at Brown University, shared on LinkedIn:

“In exchange for the restoration of nearly $250-300 million in research grants, Brown will pledge $50 million over the next 10 years to state workforce development organizations in Rhode Island.

The deal, which was finalized Wednesday, settles three open investigations into the university, and does not require the Ivy League institution to admit any wrongdoing or make a payment to the federal government.

This is unlike Trump’s settlement with Columbia University, which will pay more than $220 million in order to restore federal research money that was canceled by the Trump administration in the name of combating antisemitism.

Harvard University continues to hold out against accusations of antisemitism and so far has not agreed to any agreement involving any find penalties.”
