The Trump administration has sent the University of California, Los Angeles a draft agreement that would require the school to pay the U.S. government $1 billion and establish a $172 million fund for civil-rights claimants, according to documents reviewed by several news outlets. Acceptance of the terms would clear the way for reinstating roughly $584 million in federal grants that were suspended earlier this month. Federal officials accuse UCLA of violating Title VI of the Civil Rights Act by failing to protect Jewish students from harassment during pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campus in 2024. The proposed accord also calls for the appointment of an external monitor and other compliance measures aimed at curbing antisemitism. If finalized, the payout would dwarf earlier university settlements secured by the administration, eclipsing Columbia University’s $221 million deal in July and Brown University’s $50 million agreement. UCLA, which relies on federal grants for about 11% of its revenue, has returned to negotiations but has not indicated whether it will accept the offer. University of California President James Milliken said the system is reviewing the proposal, warning that a payment of this scale would "devastate" the state’s public higher-education network. UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk has called the funding freeze "devastating" to life-saving research, while California Governor Gavin Newsom vowed to oppose what he termed an overreach by Washington.
