On Friday August 8, the Trump administration demanded a $1 billion “settlement” from UCLA after freezing $584 million in federal grants for vital scientific and health research. The proposed $1 billion agreement would be the largest settlement since Trump began extorting universities, and marks the first attempt of the federal government to ransom payment from a public university. These attacks have been waged under the guise of fighting antisemitism and investigating alleged Title VII violations, but we see them for what they are: an attempt to cripple public higher education in the nation’s premier public university system.
Coalition of UC unions condemns Trump’s attacks on the UC and the California economy.

We reject the false premise of this hearing and the eight before it: campus activism in support of the Palestinian people is not antisemitism and is not criminal. #HandsOffHigherEd www.nydailynews.com/2025/07/18/c...

"This is yet another example of hollow theatrics by extremist Republicans whose bad-faith, weaponized investigations do nothing to combat antisemitism & protect Jewish students or anyone else." - @agounardes.bsky.social #HandsOffHigherEd @aft.org @aaup.org @nysut.bsky.social @ucaft.bsky.social
