"The Trump administration's assault on American higher education has recently been fixated on UCLA, where I teach administrative law and executive power. The White House has moved to cut off $584 million in federal funds for the university's supposed failure to prevent antisemitism on its campus. It has demanded a penalty of almost $1.2 billion dollars, insisted that the university not admit anti-Western students, publicly disavow recognition of the transgender community, and end gender-affirming care at the university's hospitals."
"Over 170 professors at UC law schools have signed it. The Trump administration has ignored the clear procedural requirements of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 such as the requirement that it provide for a hearing before an impartial decisionmaker before terminating funds, report to Congress and offer substantial evidence for its charges."
The Trump administration moved to cut $584 million in federal funds to UCLA for alleged failure to prevent antisemitism, demanded almost $1.2 billion in penalties, and imposed conditions banning 'anti‑Western' students, disavowing transgender recognition, and ending gender-affirming care at university hospitals. The UC Regents are urged to sue in federal court and state leaders are urged to provide financial support. Over 170 law professors argued the administration flouted procedural requirements under the Civil Rights Act and the Administrative Procedure Act. A federal judge temporarily blocked the terminations, but jurisdictional doubts may require a suit in the Court of Claims.
