Trump Demands $1.2 Billion UCLA Settlement | JQJO

The Trump administration proposed a nearly $1.2 billion settlement with UCLA, addressing allegations of antisemitism and civil rights violations. The 28-page proposal mandates sweeping changes to campus policies on hiring, admissions, and student life, aligning with a conservative agenda. UCLA would release demographic data, ban gender-affirming care for minors, and restrict certain protests. In exchange, the government would release withheld research grants. UC officials have rejected the exorbitant fine and many stipulations, calling the demands "extortion."
