The University of California system has announced intentions to negotiate with the federal government to restore $584 million in funding suspended by federal agencies. This response comes after a Department of Justice investigation into antisemitism at UCLA found the university in violation of legal protections. UC system president James B. Milliken expressed the urgency to restore funding, emphasizing the detrimental impacts of the cuts on vital programs. He argued that the university's efforts against antisemitism have been overlooked while stressing the need for continued support of its initiatives for public benefit.
"Our immediate goal is to see the $584 million in suspended and at-risk federal funding restored to the university as soon as possible," he argued that the cuts do nothing to address antisemitism.
"The announced cuts would be a death knell for innovative work that saves lives, grows our economy, and fortifies our national security. It is in our country's best interest that funding be restored."
