In the past four months, Brown has borrowed $800 million — an unprecedented move.
And last week, Brown signed a deal with the Trump administration to pay $50 million, and the University succumbed to a number of MAGA demands.
The Properties
According to a review of the Providence tax assessor's documents by GoLocal, the properties have a combined value of upwards of $30 million. Most of the properties Brown owns pay no taxes.
It is an unprecedented move by the Ivy League school.
Brown, who has come under fire for buying up tens of millions of dollars in properties, is now the seller, not the buyer. GoLocal exposed how in an 18-month period, the University purchased approximately $100 million of real estate in a series of deals.
