The Trump administration has suspended $584 million in grants at UCLA over what the U.S. Department of Justice has described as the school's 'deliberate indifference' to Jewish students' civil rights.

The White House says the university must pay a substantial sum to resolve claims and restore access to federal support

The announcement came as UCLA reached a $6 million settlement with three Jewish students and a Jewish professor who sued the university, arguing it violated their civil rights by allowing pro-Palestinian protesters in 2024 to block their access to classes and other areas on campus.
