The University of California's president revealed that grant suspensions imposed by the Trump administration at UCLA amount to $584 million. This funding is crucial for medical, science, and energy research, with UC leaders asserting that negotiations with federal officials are imperative to restore the funding. The funding represents a significant portion of UCLA’s annual federal financial support. Title VI and Title VII of federal civil rights law are relevant to the context of these suspensions, which have been attributed to allegations of antisemitism. Milliken emphasized that these cuts undermine both the university's efforts and broader societal benefits.
The University of California president on Wednesday said Trump administration grant suspensions at UCLA total $584 million, cuts that would be a "death knell" to medical, science and energy research and have spurred negotiations with federal officials.
Milliken, who assumed the top UC post on Friday, struck a firm tone in his message. "These cuts do nothing to address antisemitism," Milliken wrote. "Moreover, the extensive work that UCLA and the entire University of California have taken to combat antisemitism has apparently been ignored."
