Northwestern University President Michael Schill resigned Thursday amid a Trump administration funding freeze of $790 million. Schill's departure follows a series of resignations from university leaders facing federal government battles. The freeze, linked to Title VI investigations, impacted crucial research. While the university claims full cooperation, critics like Rep. Elise Stefanik cite failures to address antisemitism on campus. Schill will remain until an interim president is named, then return as a faculty member.
