Donald Trump sued University of California to billions of billions

US President Donald Trump tightens his course against universities and is taking a billion dollar lawsuit against the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) for accusations of anti-Semitism. The President of the University of University of California, James Milliken, said that the lawsuit of one billion dollars (860 million euros) had been received at the university management on Friday and was examined by it. He warned that a payment of this amount would “completely destroy” the university network.

According to media reports, the US government of UCLA also requires the payment of $ 172 million to a compensation fund for Jewish students and other allegedly affected by discrimination.

The University of California is a public university network with universities at ten locations in the western coast state of California. They are among the best public universities in the USA. The universities in the nearby San Francisco are particularly famous for Berkeley (UC Berkeley) and Los Angeles (UCLA).

Milliken said that a payment of the sum demanded by Trump would not only add great damage to the students and all Californians. US citizens across the country rely on the “important work of UCLA and the UC system”. He cited examples of “technologies and medical therapies that save lives, let the US economy grow and protect our national security”.

Trump accuses numerous universities in the country, while the nationwide protests in connection with the war in the Gaza Strip not to have been against anti -Semitism. Last year, numerous US universities, including the UCLA, had been the scene of violent anti-Israeli protests.

Critics accuse Trump to use this only as an excuse for his approach to the universities often perceived as left -liberal – and to attack their independence. The government of the right -wing populist Republican is massive against programs for more diversity at universities. As a means of pressure, its government has frozen public funding.

With the elite university of Havard, perhaps the most famous university in the world, the Trump government is in the permanent clinch. In July, Columbia University in New York declared itself to pay around $ 220 million in a dispute with the US government due to similar anti-Semitism allegations. The sum now required in the lawsuit against the UCLA almost exceeds this by a five -time.

The public universities in the state of California are already struggling with massive cuts. Most recently, the US government had frozen more than half a billion dollars of medical and scientific funding for the UCLA.

California governor Gavin Newsom, who also sits on the board of the University of California, reacted to Trump’s billion lawsuit during a press conference with the words: “We will complain.” The politician of the Democratic Party accused the US President of wanting to suppress academic freedom. “We are not like some other facilities that have taken a different way,” said Newsom with a view to the concessions of Columbia University.
