Trump Administration Sues University of California over Allegations of Antisemitism at UCLA

HeadlineFeb 25, 2026

The Trump administration is suing the University of California, alleging that UCLA ignored and failed to report complaints of antisemitism after pro-Palestinian demonstrations erupted on campus. It follows a previous lawsuit in August of last year, when the Trump administration demanded that the University of California pay nearly $1.2 billion to settle civil rights investigations into UCLA over complaints of antisemitism. The federal government also canceled $584 million in research grants to UCLA last year.
