The University of California, Los Angeles, has announced that nearly $600 million in federal funding has been suspended following government criticism over anti-Israel protests on campus. The suspension comes after the administration accused the university of allowing antisemitism during large, sometimes violent demonstrations related to Israel's war in Gaza. University officials have entered discussions with the federal government in hopes of restoring the funding, emphasizing that financial penalties do not address the issue of antisemitism. Recently, UCLA agreed to pay over $6 million to settle a lawsuit alleging antisemitism, and the university continues to face legal challenges stemming from the campus protests.
