The Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), following allegations of antisemitism and other civil rights violations related to the university's handling of pro-Palestinian protests in 2024. The Department of Justice froze hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding to UCLA, and the settlement offer includes demands such as the abolition of race-based scholarships, cessation of diversity statements, and the appointment of a monitor to enforce the settlement terms. The University of California system is currently reviewing the offer. California Governor Gavin Newsom has criticized the administration's demand, calling it "extortion" and a threat to academic freedom, and has vowed legal resistance. The Trump administration's move follows similar settlements with Brown University and Columbia University, which agreed to terms to restore their federal funding.
