Last month, UCLA announced it had settled a lawsuit over campus antisemitism claims in part by donating over $2 million to campus and community Jewish organizations. The school, like many universities engaged by Trump, reformed campus discipline and anti-hate training in the wake of the 2024 protests.

"If these funds remain suspended, it will be devastating for UCLA and for Americans across the nation," UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk said.

UCLA and University of California officials said Monday that it will negotiate with Trump over $339 million in medical and science grant freezes.
