The Trump administration has frozen federal grants for UCLA in connection with ongoing investigations into alleged antisemitism and discrimination within the University of California system. State leaders have condemned the funding freeze, and faculty are urging university administrators to respond actively. The Department of Justice concluded that UCLA inadequately addressed a prior protest encampment that created a hostile environment, violating the Equal Protection Clause. The administration seeks significant concessions from the university, but specifics on the required actions remain unclear.
The Department has concluded that UCLA's response to the protest encampment on its campus in the spring of 2024 was deliberately indifferent to a hostile environment for Jewish and Israeli students in violation of the Equal Protection Clause and Title VI.
The Department of Justice has been investigating the University of California system for months looking into alleged antisemitism, alleged use of race in admissions, and potential race- and sex-based discrimination in university employment practices.
