US EditionJudge Orders Trump Administration to Restore Part of UCLA's Suspended Funding
Judge Rita F. Lin ruled the Trump administration violated a prior injunction by suspending over 300 National Science Foundation grants worth $584 million at UCLA.
- U.S. District Judge Rita Lin ordered the Trump administration on Tuesday to restore part of the $584 million in frozen federal grants for UCLA science research.
- The freeze followed allegations that UCLA discriminated in admissions and failed to prevent antisemitism amid large protests last year.
- Lin ruled the National Science Foundation's mass suspensions violated her June preliminary injunction blocking grant terminations.
- UCLA settled an antisemitism lawsuit last month by agreeing to pay over $6 million while a $1 billion government settlement offer is under review.
- The ruling forces restoration of about 300 NSF grants, relieving UCLA's funding crisis that halted payments to graduate students and postdocs, with Governor Newsom calling administration demands extortion.
