California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) pushed back after it was discovered the Trump administration is aiming for a $1 billion settlement<\/a> with the University of California, Los Angeles.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cDonald Trump has weaponized the DOJ to kneecap America\u2019s #1 public university system \u2014 freezing medical & science funding until @UCLA pays his $1 billion ransom,\u201d the press office for the governor posted on the social platform X<\/a>. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornia won\u2019t bow to Trump’s disgusting political extortion,\u201d it added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Trump administration is demanding the money, with other concessions such as changing admission and hiring policies, in order to release more than $500 million in frozen funds and allow the institution to apply for federal grants again. \u00a0<\/p>\n

UCLA is the latest victim in President Trump\u2019s war against higher education and his objective to pull funding to then force institutions into deals. \u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, Columbia and Brown are the only institutions that have struck deals, which included sizable payouts and reforms to the universities. \u00a0<\/p>\n

Along with the payout from UCLA, Trump wants a resolution monitor who would ensure compliance with the agreement, admissions data handed over, and the creation of guidelines excluding transgender women from female sports or campus housing. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently, a total of approximately $584 million in extramural award funding is suspended and at risk,\u201d Julio Frenk, chancellor of the university, wrote in a letter that went out to the community. \u201cIf these funds remain suspended, it will be devastating for UCLA and for Americans across the nation.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
