Judge blocks Trump administration push to fine UCLA $1.2 billion for alleged antisemitism
A federal judge late Friday issued a preliminary injunction blocking the Trump administration from imposing a $1.2-billion fine on UCLA for alleged civil rights violations over antisemitism, its recognition of transgender people and use of race in admissions.

Today, we rallied at the Residence Inn by Marriott Berkeley to call out UC’s $175.8 million hotel splurge. UPTE members and allies showed up to say: fund people, not luxury hotels. That’s not public service—that’s a broken priority list. UC must reset its priorities. #UC #UnionStrong
