Trump Administration Targeting UCLA with Half a Billion Dollars Funding Freeze

The Trump Administration has suspended half a billion dollars in federal research funds from UCLA, alleging the school has ignored anti-semitism on campus. The school’s chancellor says the cuts would kill scientific research at UCLA. Now, the university will negotiate with the administration, just as Ivy Leagues like Columbia and Brown University have done. Scott is joined by the Los Angeles Times education reporter Jaweed Kaleem. Check out Political Breakdown’s weekly newsletter, delivered straight to your inbox. Learn more about your ad choices.
