Trump Freezes $200 Million In UCLA Research Funding Due To Antisemitism Claims
LOS ANGELES COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AUG 1 – The Justice Department found UCLA violated civil rights by ignoring antisemitism complaints, leading to a nearly $200 million grant freeze, including 300 NSF awards canceled.
- On August 1, 2025, the National Science Foundation announced it is suspending nearly 300 research grants to UCLA worth about $200 million.
- This action follows the Trump administration's allegations that UCLA fostered antisemitism and discrimination, partially due to campus protests related to the 2023 Israel-Hamas conflict.
- UCLA Chancellor Julio Frenk condemned the decision, emphasizing the university’s ongoing work combating antisemitism and highlighting the importance of the pioneering research impacted by the cuts.
- Frenk criticized the defunding decision, saying it fails to effectively tackle the claims of discrimination and described the funding loss as a setback for Americans nationwide who rely on UCLA's research.
- The suspension threatens critical scientific progress at UCLA while the Justice Department continues investigations, and the university faces a pending deadline to respond to civil rights violation claims.
