Northwestern University

Northwestern University is a prominent US research institution. It's currently newsworthy due to two distinct reasons. Firstly, a professor at Northwestern, Jessica Schleider, is involved in research concerning children's mental health and digital media, contributing to new guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics. Secondly, Northwestern University recently reached a $75 million settlement with the US government to resolve investigations stemming from the Trump administration. This settlement aims to restore federal research funding, which had been cut off, impacting university operations and leading to layoffs and the resignation of the university's president. The resolution of this funding dispute is significant for the university's research capabilities and overall financial stability.
