"The University of California's top leader warned Monday that the federal government's $1.2-billion fine and sweeping proposals to remake UCLA are "minor in comparison" to what could hit the entirety of the nation's premier university system of campuses, hospitals and clinics. "As we consider the unprecedented action against UCLA, it is important to keep in mind that the federal government is also pursuing investigations and actions in various stages against all 10 UC campuses," UC President James B. Milliken said in a Monday letter."
"The "investigations and actions" range from Trump administration allegations of the illegal use of race in admissions - at Irvine, Berkeley and San Francisco campuses - to civil rights complaints lodged with the Department of Education by Jewish and other community members at UCLA, Davis, San Diego and Santa Barbara campuses. There is also a UC-wide investigation alleging the system discriminates against Jews in hiring, retention and promotion."
UC President James B. Milliken warned that a federal $1.2-billion fine and proposed reforms at UCLA could be minor compared with broader federal actions affecting all University of California campuses, hospitals and clinics. The Department of Justice proposal would overhaul UCLA practices on hiring, admissions, athletics, scholarships, discrimination and gender identity. Federal investigations include Trump administration allegations of illegal use of race in admissions at Irvine, Berkeley and San Francisco, civil rights complaints at multiple campuses, and a UC-wide probe alleging discrimination against Jews in hiring, retention and promotion. Milliken warned the actions could trigger layoffs, budget reductions, suspended federal grants and cuts to the university.
