Article image

Murphy Hall is pictured. President Donald Trump has cracked down on diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives from the halls of federal government agencies to K-12 schools since the start of his second term.

Federal funding application process, impact of loss of funding for researchers

This post was updated Oct. 21 at 3:20 p.m.
UCLA and the Trump Administration have been at odds over federal funding for months.
In July, The Trump administration suspended an estimated $584 million of research funding to UCLA, alleging that the university failed to protect Jewish and Israeli students from antisemitism, implemented affirmative action in their admission practices and allegedly allowed “men to participate in women’s sports.”
While a federal judge ordered the restoration of most of the funding, the struggle breaks a long tradition of cooperation between university institutions and the federal government in research development.
