Brown University has resolved a dispute with the federal government, restoring its federal research funding. A "voluntary agreement" ends a funding freeze initiated in April due to concerns about compliance with nondiscrimination obligations. The agreement ensures Brown will not engage in unlawful racial discrimination and will provide data to the government. The university maintains its commitment to academic independence while securing continued access to federal research grants.
