The full document of the trump admin's demands to #UCLA to have its grants restored was released yesterday after faculty sued for its release: https://ucop.edu/communications/_files/confidential-rule-408-communication-ucla-08-08-25.pdf
In August, the #Trump admin sent #UCLA a 27-page list of demands and settlement proposal, which UCLA wanted to keep confidential during the negotiations. The UCLA Faculty Association sued to compel its disclosure, and the California Supreme Court just decided in favor of the faculty.

This is a pretty good summary of US higher ed for the past ~year and a half. It may thrill and embolden the current federal administration, but they can't take credit for it--their predecessors and university leaderships beat them to it

"NSF (US National Science Foundation) suspended a $25 million grant for the Institute for Pure and Applied #Mathematics (IPAM), an international center at #UCLA that hosts about 2000 visiting researchers every year for workshops and other programs. One of its stars, Terence Tao, a Fields Medal winner frequently named as one of the greatest living mathematicians, also had his only NSF grant suspended."

Incredible tool!
“Developed by University of California Los Angeles (UCLA), the tool helps fill in gaps as the Trump administration takes a sledgehammer to federal climate, race, and ethnicity data resources.
“We want to provide facts, reliable data sources. We don’t want this to be something that gets erased from the policy sphere,” says Arturo Vargas Bustamante, faculty research director at the UCLA Latino Policy and Politics Institute (LPPI).
“We don’t want this to be something that gets erased”
The Latino Climate & Health Dashboard includes data on extreme heat and air pollution, as well as asthma rates and other health conditions — issues that are linked to each other. High temperatures can speed up the chemical reactions that create smog. Chronic exposure to fine particle pollution, or soot, can increase the risk of a child developing asthma.“
