This is why all the schools need to band together. That's the way to win. He's picking them off one by one now.

UCLA settled with several students, that is in the Frankel case which they lost a motion to defend on.
That case generated lots of evidence that Trump admn is using to extract unrelated concessions and $1B - UCLA has not agreed to that and I don't think will, that is a ridiculous number. However as with Brown, Columbia and Penn they probably have to settle with the government because they are super likely to lose on at least on the issue of violation of civil rights/equal protection of Jewish and Israeli students. Institutions generally don't go to trial on cases where they know they will lose which they pretty much know here as they get to pay all of the trial costs and then the judgement.

It's just becoming tedious at this point how the administrator is steamrolling things and cultivating everything.
For the brief moment this may be up - none of what readers see is reflective of genuine conversation.

UCLA is test blind anyway and since grading varies significantly across different schools, there is no "objective" criteria for them to evaluate. Everything is holistic or subjective.
It's all about the essays and EC list.
doubt the fed lawyers can make a clear case here since they don't take any AP, SAT or ACT tests and are TEST BLIND.
This part. It will make no sense for this to be litigated. It's always been subjective and there will be no "proof" or objective enough "data" that is being considered here. They recalculate all the GPAs and don't consider scores anyway. Really hard to build a case that someone should be admitted who wasn't.

So gross. Why aren’t they sticking together and protesting this corruption?
They are splintering. There are so many hiding, trying not to draw attention to themselves. This is how fascism is allowed to grow. It’s how the Nazi movement spread- p

I am not denying that they are selectively enforcing but that isn't a legal defense.
You know what. This is a fair point. However, did the court also ask for $1B as part of that settlement. The point is that it is up to courts to settle civil suits. It is not within the rights of US Government, under the direction of a dictatorial president, to selectively cut funding and ask for extortion money to double down on a court case loss.
Also, why would an attack on antisemitism require changes to trans-gender policy and DEI usage in admissions? This has absolutely nothing to do with allowing protesters to restrict the access of Jewish people on campus.
Lastly, I agree with a PP who said that the colleges need to grow a pair and stand up to this BS. It may take a few years, but as a united group - I think they have a very strong case against the government. And that is even with this gerrymandered Supreme Court that the dictator set up.

You realize Trump won the popular vote, right?
If "Did Not Vote" had been a presidential candidate, they would have beaten Donald Trump by 9.1 million votes, and they would have won 21 states, earning 265 electoral college votes to Trump's 175 and Harris's 98

UCLA allowed protestors to stop Jewish students from entering buildings/crossing parts of campus unless they verbally disclaimed Israel's right to exist. That is conduct, not speech, you get to shout hate but you don't get to block or limit other students access to campus. These offenders were subject to the school's code of conduct and should have been expelled or otherwise prevented (i.e. arrested if needed). Straight up discrimination on the basis of religion/national origin not speech and not protected
Nearly every reasonable-sized university gets sued many times a year based on allegations that they failed to adequately respond to certain forms of discrimination, and sometimes they are held liable. Here, UCLA settled. But why is the federal government punishing certain universities for a certain kind of discrimination? Why aren't they similarly going after universities who have violated women's Title IX rights? Or those with an abysmal record of accommodating students and faculty with disabilities? And why is the Trump administration seeking to further punish UCLA for between $500mm and $1 billion for this incident, when the DOE under Trump imposed a mere $4.5 million fine against Michigan State in 2019 after it effectively permitted Larry Nassar to sexually abuse literally hundreds of underage girls? Be honest, the Trump administration is punishing UCLA because it allowed the protests to occur in the first place (and because it's in a state that does not vote in his favor).
