University System Begs State For $5 Billion After Getting Cut Off By Trump
The University of California (UC) system is negotiating with states legislators to compensate for the billions of federal dollars, it risks losing tensions with the Trump administration.
UC president James Milliken sent a letter to state senators and assemblies on Wednesday, warning that the system risks losing the $ 17 billion he earns each year from the federal government while the administration continues to repress universities accused of having violated the civil rights law. The university is currently under federal survey for alleged racial discrimination, while certain universities of the system are on thin ice for their responses to anti -Semitism on the campus.

Milliken met states legislators in August to discuss “the large -scale consequences of the actions of the federal government”. Several representatives have locked arms with the university system to defend it against the financing cuts proposed by the Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who could potentially deepen the already expected deficits of universities.

The Trump administration has already frozen $ 584 million in Federal Funds in the UC Los Angeles (UCLA) about allegations that the school failed to approach anti -Semitism and continues to racically discriminate in its admission decisions.
