The Trump administration has notified the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) that it is freezing $339.2 million in federal funds from the institution following civil rights violations, a senior administration official told the Daily Caller.
The Department of Energy (DOE), the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), notified the institution this week that federal funds to the university have been frozen after each department identified various civil rights violations, according to a series of letters obtained by the Caller. The DOE is freezing $18.2 million in funds, HHS and NIH are freezing $240 million in funds and NSF is freezing $81 million in funds, an administration official told the Caller.
“DOE understands that the University of California – Los Angeles continues to engage in race discrimination including in its admissions process, and in other areas of student life, as well as failing to promote a research environment free of antisemitism and bias,” a DOE letter says of its decision to freeze funds.
