India, Nov. 8 -- Cornell University reached an agreement with the White House on Friday to restore approximately $250 million in federal funding, becoming the latest school to negotiate with the Trump administration, which pulled funding for major US schools.

Cornell University and the White House had reached an agreement with the administration to restore roughly $250 million in federal funding that had been under review.

Cornell is the fifth university and fourth Ivy League school to ink a deal with the White House, after the University of Pennsylvania, Columbia, Brown and the University of Virginia. It is only the second to agree to pay a direct fine to the government, after Colombia committed to paying $200 million in July.
