The Trump administration has detailed what it wants from the University of California, Los Angeles, to settle allegations of antisemitism and civil rights violations that go well beyond the nearly $1.2 billion fine it has proposed.

The 28-page, 7,300-word settlement proposal obtained by the Los Angeles Times seeks to put the Trump administration’s footprint on everything from hiring practices to scholarships, admissions to sports, and gender identity.

The letter, which has not been made public, details how administration officials want the public university to enforce new policies that adhere to President Donald Trump’s agenda.

If the university agrees to allow the Trump administration to have sway over almost all aspects of campus life, and if the school makes public declarations that it has agreed to Trump’s revamped vision of higher education, the government will release $500,000 in suspended research grants from the National Institutes of Health and Department of Energy to UCLA.

Specifically, the deal would require UCLA to give the government $200 million for five years and set up a $172 million fund for people with claims of civil rights violations. It would also demand that the university ensure foreign students who are “anti-Western” are denied admission. It would require UCLA to pay for all costs of the settlement, including the fee for an outside monitor, and annually release demographic data on people the university hires and students who have applied or have been admitted, broken down by “race, color, grade point average, and performance on standardized tests,” according to the Los Angeles Times. The deal would further require UCLA to make a public statement declaring that transgender people’s identities are no longer recognized, end gender-affirming care for minors at medical facilities, and give the government access to “all UCLA staff, employees, facilities, documents, and data related to the agreement” not protected by attorney-client privilege.

The Los Angeles Times pointed out that the document showed signs of “being hastily put together.”

“Nouns and verbs occasionally do not match in tense,” according to the report. “There are references to the ‘president’ of UCLA, but the top campus administrator, Julio Frenk, is a ‘chancellor.’ A sentence about medical facilities references the ‘Feinberg School of Medicine,’ which is at Northwestern University.”

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) has called the demands “extortion” and said the state will “stand tall and push back.” He has repeatedly said the University of California system should not give in to the Trump administration’s demands and last month urged UC administrators not to “sell their soul” to the president. Newsom publicly called out Harvard and Brown universities for agreeing to settle with Trump.

More than 170 faculty members from law schools across the UC system have signed a letter backing Newsom’s declarations to push back on the Trump administration’s demands. The letter also challenges the legality of the funding cuts and urges the UC Board of Regents to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration to restore funding as opposed to striking a deal.

Earlier this month, University of California system President James Milliken told state lawmakers that financial losses due to the funding cuts could spread to all 10 campuses, labeling it as one of the “gravest threats” in the system’s 157-year history. He is asking the state for $4 billion to $5 billion per year “to minimize the damage” of the loss of federal dollars.

Milliken, who became president of the UC system on Aug. 1, said that “the stakes are high, and the risks are very real.”

“The UC system is not only one of the world’s leading academic institutions, but also a key driver in California’s economic success story that contributes to thriving communities throughout the state,” Milliken said. “We are the second largest employer in the state — nearly 275,000 people work at our campuses and medical centers — and we indirectly support over 500,000 jobs. We are present in every county in this state, providing health care, supporting farmers, and fostering innovation and entrepreneurship that leads to new inventions and companies.”

Milliken said he met with 30 legislators last week and stressed how important the matter was to the survival of the public university system. The UC system receives more than $17 billion per year from the federal government — $9.9 billion in Medicare and Medicaid funding, $5.7 billion in research funding, and $1.9 billion in student financial aid per year.

Milliken said a substantial loss in federal funding would “devastate our university” and “cause enormous harm to our students, our patients, and all Californians.”

That would include classes and student services being cut, patients being turned away, and tens of thousands of jobs being lost.
