The Los Angeles Times front page reported that Jewish faculty and professors have united to defend the University of California, Los Angeles.
A large number of Jewish faculty members at the University of California, Los Angeles — some of whom have strongly differing views on the war between Israel and Gaza — have joined together to sign a letter condemning the Trump administration's $1 billion fine demand for the university as "misleading and punitive," which is intended to resolve claims of anti-Semitism on campus.
The letter was drafted by a few professors, signed by more than 360 people, and organizers had initially planned to send it to the California University Board on Monday afternoon. The letter also condemned the government's freezing of $584 million in research funding. It said: "Cutting hundreds of millions of dollars in research funds does nothing to make the University of California, Los Angeles safer for Jews, nor does it reduce anti-Semitism in the world.
This is not beneficial to Jewish students at the University of California, Los Angeles, nor is it beneficial to the large number of Jews outside who use the university's top medical facilities and cutting-edge scientific innovations."
This letter signed by more than 360 members of the Jewish community at the University of California, Los Angeles criticized the "improper measures" taken by President Trump to punish the university.
