The UC Regents—the same people who cowered, while unions fought the Trump admin in court—are meeting this week at UCLA to discuss new rules to muzzle faculty speech, among other abhorrent appeasement strategies. This TUESDAY let’s show them who we really are.
A photo showing people demonstrating outside a building.

Join the Fight!

On Nov 14, the US District Court issued a preliminary injunction stopping Trump's illegal extortion of the UC. This legal effort was organized by ten UC campus Faculty Associations, the AAUP, AFT, UC-AFT Local 1474, AFSCME Local 3299, Council of UC Faculty Associations (CUCFA), UPTE-CWA Local 9119, California Nurses Association/National Nurses United, UAW, UAW Local 4811, Teamsters Local 2010, and CIR-SEIU with support from 25 student associations.
Join us on Tuesday, Nov 18 at 12 noon in Dickson Court just west of Murphy Hall at
UCLA to build on this victory and chart the path ahead! We are just getting started!
We will be joined by representatives of UC Unbowed, a campaign of UC alumni and allies who have organized a petition with over 2000 signatures calling for UC leadership to stand up for our core values. Sign the petition here.
Join the UCLA Faculty Association today! uclafa.org/join

‼️Trump's demands of UCLA are far worse than you think. His demands could result in thousands of trans people outside UCLA losing care, risking lives. From Poppy Press on Instagram, an independent student-run outlet by UCLA students, reposted with permission 🧵 www.instagram.com/p/DNTwD5IvAAy/
Trump's demands O UCLA are far worse than you think.
A
His administration is demanding, among other thingS, ,more than $1 billion from UCLA, a catastrophic end to gender-affirming care at UCLA hospitals, banning of transgender women in women's dorms and women's sports, and an end to all race- and ethnicity-based scholarships.poppypress_. Following

...

In an unreleased proposed settlement reviewed by
CNN, the Trump administration demanded UCLA
pay LS billion to the federal government, and pay
p
another $172 million to those claiming to be
impacted by violations of the employment
discrimination section of the Civil Rights Act. This is
the largest demand for money_from any.
<university, with Brown and Columbia Universities
paying $50 million and $221 million respectively.
These are also the first major federal demands
of a public university. While UCLA is undoubtedly
going to attempt to negotiate this amount down, it's a
dangerous signal that the Trump administration
expects a massive payout and will continue to gut
higher education.

poppypress_. Following

While the numbers themselves are shocking, CNN
also reported different elements of the proposed
settlement that sound alarms. Some demands that
Trump has given to these other universities are
presented tenfold in the UCLA proposal, and the
effects would be catastrophic.

If agreed to, this proposal has terms that would

from providing_gender-affirming_care. Brown
University gave into a demand that it end gender-
affirming care to minors; this is a severe escalation,
especially considering UCLA's role in providing care
to the transgender community across the state and
UCLA hospital's leading expertise in gender-
affirming surgery. This provision would make it
extremely difficult for the transgender population on
campus to get the medical care they need.
