Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, in a late-night social media post on
Friday, was livid over reports that the Trump administration had
suspended over half a billion dollars in funding to the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) for refusing to negotiate on allegations
of anti-Semitism on their campus.

Bass, never one to be accused of being quick to the draw (she spent some
time in Ghana during the Palisades wildfires despite warnings, and took
some time to meander back to the scene of the devastation), was a little
behind on her complaint.

She'll be super-upset to learn that the Trump administration is now
trying to extract a cool $1 billion settlement from the university.

That's right, the administration is seeking a massive settlement from
UCLA, accusing the university of civil rights violations related to antisemitism during pro-Palestinian protests.

The proposed agreement demands that UCLA pay the settlement in
installments, establish a $172 million fund for discrimination victims,
and implement significant policy changes, including revisions to
policies on protests and race-based scholarships. Additionally, it
mandates the elimination of funding for gender-affirming care at UCLA's hospital and medical facilities.

All reasonable proposals, but which will surely be met with frustration
and disdain from the woke university officials who have run UCLA into
the ground.

?? JUST IN: The Trump admin is seeking $1 BILLION in their settlement
with UCLA, per CNN

Man, these DEI admissions and men in women’s sports are costing woke universities an absolute FORTUNE ??

Trump also wants UCLA to pay out $172 MILLION to victims of their discrimination Show more

UC President James Milliken warns that the financial demands could
devastate the university’s research mission and the broader public
university system, saying the massive amount is a non-starter.

"As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources and a
payment of this scale would completely devastate our country’s greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students
and all Californians,” Milliken said in a statement.

Perhaps had you been better "stewards" of taxpayer money in the first
place, you wouldn't have to be in negotiations for being a cesspool of
liberal ideology. Just a thought, James.

As noted, $584 million in federal research funding has already been
frozen as leverage. Bass did not like that idea. At all. Calling it a
"reckless decision" that "will have devastating consequences for
scientific progress."

Millions of dollars in life-saving research funding have been frozen
from UCLA — a reckless decision by the Administration that will have devastating consequences for scientific progress.

L.A. will always stand behind UCLA & all our academic institutions.

UCLA's Chancellor Julio Frenk, likewise, had a veritable coronary over
the funding being suspended.

“If these funds remain suspended,” he wrote, according to Politico, “it will be devastating for UCLA and for Americans across the nation.”

Frankly, I don't think too many people are going to lose much sleep if
UCLA has to pay $1 billion for allowing and promoting bigotry on their
campus, then refusing to do anything about it. And they'll be better
off, more respected even, if they stop operating under a lens of racial discrimination, anti-Semitism, and advocating for child mutilation.
