"The Trump administration's settlement proposal to UCLA - which includes a nearly $1.2-billion fine over allegations of antisemitism and civil rights violations - seeks to drastically overhaul campus practices on hiring, admissions, sports, scholarships, discrimination and gender identity, a Times review of the document shows. The 28-page letter - whose full contents have not been made public - also lays out in sweeping detail how it wants the university to enforce new policies that adhere to the president's conservative agenda."
"The Department of Justice's August demands reach into numerous aspects of campus life and call for the university to make public declarations that it has agreed to significant elements of Presiden Trump's vision of higher education. In exchange, the government will release roughly half a billion dollars in suspended research grants from the National Institutes of Health and Department of Energy to UCLA."
"Make five years of payments - $200,000 annually - and set up a $172,000 fund for people with claims of civil rights violations. Ensure foreign students who are "anti-Western" will not be admitted. Pay for all costs of the settlement, including the fee for an outside monitor. Annually release demographic data for hires as well as students who have applied or have been admitted, broken down by "race, color, grade point average, and performance on standardized tests.""
The Department of Justice proposed a settlement with UCLA that includes a nearly $1.2 billion fine and sweeping changes to campus policies on hiring, admissions, sports, scholarships, discrimination, and gender identity. The 28-page letter demands enforcement of new policies aligned with the president's conservative agenda. The DOJ offered to release roughly half a billion dollars in suspended NIH and Department of Energy research grants in exchange for university compliance. University of California leaders have entered negotiations and have publicly rejected the fine as exorbitant. The proposal outlines a three-year agreement requiring payments, a fund for civil-rights claimants, admissions restrictions for "anti-Western" foreign students, and annual demographic disclosures.
