The federal government’s demand of $1 billion from @UCLA would devastate the nation’s best public university, cut off life-saving care, halt tech and economic growth and reduce educational access.

“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.

This is devastating! Please share with friends and family, Trump doesn’t support Veterans IN ANY WAY! Half the employees of the VA are Veterans.
The Veteran community is about to feel the pain of already understaffed VA, we are going backwards!!
