Northeastern spent $270,000 on federal lobbying in first quarter of 2025, data show
Northeastern reported $270,000 in federal lobbying in the first quarter of 2025, outspending most U.S. universities.
The numbers were disclosed in a report filed April 21, which outlines the university’s lobbying activity from Jan. 1 to March 31 — a time marked by the Trump administration’s mounting pressure on higher education institutions to conform to its political agenda.
