US EditionTrump administration seeking $1 billion settlement from UCLA
- On Friday, the Trump administration presented UCLA with a draft settlement demanding the university pay over $1 billion and allocate $172 million to a fund designated for individuals affected by alleged antisemitism violations.
- This action follows a July 29 DOJ announcement that UCLA violated Jewish and Israeli students' rights by failing to adequately address severe harassment since October 7, 2023.
- The proposal would also restore $584 million in frozen federal medical and science grants, mandate a compliance monitor, and appoint a senior administrator focused on anti-discrimination laws.
- UCLA President James B. Milliken called the $1 billion proposal "devastating" and emphasized that frozen funds threaten critical research supporting the nation’s health, economy, and security.
- Negotiations between UCLA and the federal government continue as university leaders seek to restore funding while asserting their commitment to combating antisemitism and ensuring campus safety.
