"On Friday, a US District Court issued a preliminary injunction blocking the United States government from halting federal funding at UCLA or any other school in the University of California system. The ruling came in response to a suit filed by groups representing the faculty at these schools challenging the Trump administration's attempts to force UCLA into a deal that would substantially revise instruction and policy."
"The Judge overseeing this case, Rita Lin, issued separate documents describing the reasoning behind her decision and the sanctions she has placed on the Trump administration. In the first, she lays out the argument that the threats facing the UC system, and most notably UCLA, are part of a scripted campaign deployed against many other universities, one that proceeds through several steps."
A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction preventing the government from cutting federal funding to UCLA or any University of California campus. Faculty groups sued to block administration efforts to compel UCLA into an agreement that would revise instruction and policies. The court found a pattern of using antisemitism accusations to justify funding cuts and then leveraging those cuts to force institutional changes, violating legal procedures and suppressing faculty First Amendment rights. Judge Rita Lin detailed the administration's scripted campaign, linked to the Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism and civil rights investigations prompted by anti-Israel protests.
