“As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources, and a payment of this scale would completely devastate our country’s greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students and all Californians.” —UC President James B. Milliken
Breaking News: A Trump administration settlement proposal demands more than $1 billion from UCLA. It calls for the payout to contribute to a claims fund that would compensate victims of civil rights violations after a pro-Palestinian protest on campus.
Trump Wants U.C.L.A. to Pay $1 Billion to Restore Its Research Funding
The Trump administration has ended about $500 million for the Los Angeles-based university. The president said he wanted nearly double that to restart the flow of funds.

the wide scale legal action about the NIH IDC is great.
I am concerned that there is no such action for the NSF. basic research generates long term technological/economic benefit, but the long time scale makes it vulnerable to short term budget thinking
Who is championing the NSF?

My understanding of my job: I garner federal funding to carry out research, in part to support the economy and security of the nation. In return for the opportunity to do this, I teach.
Friday’s NSF budget proposal, and NIH budget cut, breaks this deal. Ergo, shouldn’t I stop teaching?
