"Go almost anywhere in the multiple medical centers of slogan-obsessed UCLA, and you'll see signs reading It Begins With U and Innovating Patient Care since 1926, bromides urging every employee from nurses to heart surgeons toward ever-better performance and ratings. So far, the slogans have helped place UCLA's medical centers first among Western hospitals in the U.S. News & World Report ratings, topping even famed institutions like Stanford University's hospital, the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and UCLA's sister medical centers in San Francisco."
"That was in keeping with Trump's practice of attacking prominent targets and rarely secondary ones. Also in keeping with the Trump approach was compromise and then restoration of most of the research money Trump threatened. The $1.7 billion represented nearly all annual federal research money that UCLA gets, sixth most in the country behind places like UC San Francisco, the University of Michigan and Johns Hopkins University, schools which had far less antisemitic activity during the 2023-24 school year."
UCLA's medical centers display slogans such as It Begins With U and Innovating Patient Care since 1926 to encourage improved performance. The medical centers rank first among Western hospitals in U.S. News & World Report, surpassing Stanford, Cedars-Sinai, and other UC campuses. The university faced a federal threat of $1.7 billion in fines and research cuts linked to antisemitic encampments and campus anti-Jewish activities. The threatened amount equaled nearly all annual federal research funding for UCLA, with $500 million aimed at medical research and $1.2 billion framed as a fine. A judge temporarily halted part of the process on procedural grounds.
