Why the US froze $339 million in UCLA research funding over alleged civil rights breaches

The US government has frozen $339 million in research grants to UCLA, alleging civil rights violations related to antisemitism, race-based admissions, and women’s sports policies. Several federal agencies, including the Department of Energy and the National Institutes of Health, cited noncompliance and bias in UCLA’s practices. This action, one of the few targeting a public university, follows a broader federal crackdown on discrimination in higher education, with Columbia University previously settling similar allegations.
