UCLA recently settled a federal lawsuit concerning discrimination and contributed over $2 million to Jewish civil rights groups. This settlement was presented to the federal government as a gesture of progress against antisemitism. However, it triggered intense scrutiny and a series of accusations, particularly from the Trump administration. Governor Gavin Newsom responded vehemently to a federal demand for a $1-billion fine against UCLA, citing threats to academic freedom. Upcoming meetings and court hearings may determine the university's funding amidst these serious allegations.
"On July 29, UCLA announced it had settled a federal lawsuit with students who accused it of discrimination, paying more than $2 million to Jewish civil rights groups and millions more in legal fees."
"Gov. Gavin Newsom unleashed furious comments in response to a federal demand that UC pay a $1-billion fine over a host of allegations against UCLA: antisemitism on campus, illegal use of race in admissions, and policies that allow transgender athletes to compete according to their gender identity."
