On Friday, a White House official announced that the Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), citing antisemitism and other civil rights violations at the institution in exchange for restoring more than half a billion dollars in frozen grant funding to the university.
According to Fox News, the proposed agreement “requires UCLA to pay the federal government $1 billion over multiple installments, along with establishing a $172 million claims fund for alleged victims of violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which prohibits employment discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national origin.”
The Trump administration has already suspended $584 million in federal grants from UCLA after the Justice Department announced it found the school violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
UCLA’s campus has been a hotbed of Hamas-supporting protests.

Also in April 2024, a Jewish student at UCLA was blocked from entering an open area of campus and harassed.
While those behaviors were excused and allowed during the Biden-Harris regime, the Trump administration is holding universities accountable for the hate they allow to fester on their campuses.
UCLA is the first public university to be targeted by a widespread funding freeze over allegations of civil rights violations related to antisemitism and affirmative action.
The White House official did not detail any additional demands the administration has made to UCLA or elaborate on the settlement amount. The person was not authorized to speak publicly about the request and spoke on condition of anonymity.
