The Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from the University of California (UCLA) after an investigation found it had violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act for allowing „systemic antisemitism“ against its students and staff, CNN reports.
Last month, Attorney General Pam Bondi announced she was planning to „force UCLA to pay a heavy price for putting Jewish Americans at risk and continue our ongoing investigations into other campuses in the UC system.“ The administration began freezing around $584 million in funding and grants to the college last week.
This is more about the fact that Republicans don’t believe in education. Republicans just prefer stupid people.

Let’s hope UCLA’s board of governors has some testicular fortitude to tell Trump and his pedo buddies to go and f themselves.

UCLA can afford lawyers, tie it up in the courts until this ass-show is over.

They’ll fold in a rather embarrassing fashion, I’d wager. And then it’s on to the next couple of universities.

this is insane,and unacceptable. surely one of these institutions will stand up.

$1B is more than the funding amount frozen by the feds. So why would UCLA agree to this?
TheJadeGoddess on
So we don’t get to see the proof and you are using this as an excuse to go after their federal funding. Let us be blunt about this. This administration is filled with a bunch of liars. It is all they do and they can’t help but lie about the dumbest smallest thing they can. There is no reason to believe they found shit. Facist oligarch pleasing scum sucking parasites on human kind.

Taxpayers are paying for the legal team. Trump reaps the rewards and pockets the money.

This horseshit has already had a terrible affect on UCLA. My friend’s cancer research lab was shut down this week after two decades of incredible, breakthrough research. Fuck cancer, fuck this fascist administration, and fuck UCLA and all the other schools and corporations bending the knee!

Destroy the universities, keep everyone under and uneducated.

So in order to unfreeze 584 million in funding, he wants UCLA to pay twice that amount?
Republicans aren’t very good at math it seems.

Settlement from what exactly?

Well seeing as how the UC system is a public university system, I’m hoping they have more ability to tell the Trump administration to go fuck themselves than the private universities did…

So now Trump wants to Extort $1 billion from UCLA! What a racket!
TheDarkKnightRevises on
UCLA can’t be sued as an individual institution, the UC board of regents is the proper party to be sued and Newsom, as the governor, is on the board of regents. I would not expect the sort of capitulation that people in this thread are expecting.

What for?? Protecting the 1st amendment ??
Just take his fat dumbass to court. Drag this shot out for years and years and years.
He will be gone by then (put of office or perished from natural causes)
Hopefully by then, the new administration drops this frivolous suit
It’ll still be cheaper than 1 Billion

Damn each settlement is getting bigger lol, this is what happens when you bend the knee.

So, is the idea now that the president can just extort institutions for doing things he didn’t like and said institutions just roll over like a dog and beg for mercy? Is that what America is now? Will be interesting if we ever get a Democrat president again and they just start extorting Fox News and Prager U. What a stupid stupid country we’ve become.

People need to understand this is AIPAC bribing our government to remove the first amendment right to free speech for anyone they think is antiSemitic. The first amendment should not be for sale. It applies to everyone in America, citizen or no.

Public universities are funded by tax payers, and led by the governor. Seems like an attack to drain the coffers of the richest state in the union.

Who would have thought that as soon as one University rolled over that he would try to extract as much as possible from others???

Trump has weaponized the DOJ into his shake down thug muscle.
He also wants to have CBS-settlement-style controls over UCLA: no more non-MAGA views, no scholarships for minorities if a white person thinks they deserved it more, and no trans rights.

Just say “make us”. I don’t get it. U.C.L.A. has a multi billion dollar endowment. If they lost all federal funding for 4 years they would be fine. Stand up. Say fuck you. And fight them

Fucking fascist coup in motion over here.
Is this money going directly into Trump’s pocket?
settlement for what exactly?
The response from UCLA should be „Sit and spin.“
