UCLA is under pressure from the Trump administration, which is demanding a $1 billion settlement over allegations of civil rights violations concerning antisemitism during pro-Palestinian protests. University officials warn that such a payment would harm the university system and its students. Along with the settlement, the government has suspended $584 million in federal research funding and demands UCLA to allocate $172 million for civil rights violation victims. The university is negotiating for a resolution to restore the funding and address the allegations.
University of California president James B. Milliken warned that a payment of $1 billion would devastate the public university system and harm students and Californians.
UCLA chancellor Julio Frenk noted that the federal government suspended $584 million in research funding, emphasizing the urgency for negotiation to restore support.
Milliken stated that the immediate goal is to restore $584 million in suspended federal funding, asserting that cutting funding does not address the issue of antisemitism.
The Trump administration's demands for a settlement escalate following accusations against UCLA of violating civil rights law regarding antisemitism amid pro-Palestinian protests.
