Princeton University, for example, is set to lose $4 million in grants aimed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/rigged-researchers-notice-very-special-item-missing-from-82-separate-climate-science-studies\/\" title=\"Rigged: Researchers Notice Very Special Item Missing from 82 Separate &#039;Climate Science&#039; Studies\">climate research due<\/a> to the administration&#8217;s decision to halt funding for certain National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)-backed programs. Meanwhile, Cornell University has had $1 billion in funds frozen, and Northwestern University has seen a $790 million freeze. These cuts reportedly include funding for crucial research areas and programs that address national defense, cybersecurity, and health.<\/p>\n<p>The Department of Commerce specifically criticized some programs for promoting narratives that exaggerate climate threats, leading to increased anxiety among youth. Universities like Cornell and Northwestern are also under investigation for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jan-6-prisoner-who-was-denied-cancer-treatment-now-in-dire-straits\/\" title=\"Jan. 6 Prisoner Who Was Denied Cancer Treatment Now &quot;In Dire Straits&quot;\">potential civil rights violations<\/a>, which adds to the uncertainty surrounding their funding. The Trump administration has warned that funding for othre institutions may also be curtailed if they are found to be promoting discriminatory practices. the funding cuts reflect a broader effort to shift federal resources toward initiatives that are deemed more aligned with the administration&#8217;s goals.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Major universities are finding that the Trump administration will no longer fund pet projects to the tune of multiple millions of dollars.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/trump-admin-cuts-more-princeton-funding-related-climate-research\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fox News<\/a>, Princeton University is losing $4 million in grants that funded climate research projects.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/04\/08\/us\/politics\/cornell-northwestern-university-funds-trump.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The New York Times<\/a> is reporting that Cornell University has had $1 billion in funds frozen and Northwestern University has had $790 million frozen.<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.commerce.gov\/news\/press-releases\/2025\/04\/ending-cooperative-agreements-funding-princeton-university\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">news release<\/a> from the Department of Commerce, several National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration-funded programs at Princeton &ldquo;are no longer in keeping with the Trump administration&rsquo;s priorities.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/zeldin-drive-dagger-straight-heart-climate-change-religion-axing-landmark-obama-era-ruling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cooperative agreement<\/a> funding the Cooperative Institute for Modeling the Earth System I was zapped because it &ldquo;promotes exaggerated and implausible climate threats, contributing to a phenomenon known as &lsquo;climate anxiety,&rsquo;
