## Trump Seeks $1 Billion From UC System Over Antisemitism Claims

**UCLA Protests Spark Federal Investigation, President Demands Record Fine**

President Donald Trump is demanding a staggering $1 billion fine from the University of California system. The administration alleges that UCLA’s response to 2024 student protests regarding the Gaza conflict demonstrates antisemitism. This figure dwarfs the $200 million Columbia University agreed to pay to settle similar federal accusations.  


**Record Fine, Five Times Previous Settlement**

Trump's demand underscores the escalating pressure on universities navigating complex social and political issues. The $1 billion figure is five times the sum Columbia University agreed to pay to settle similar federal accusations of antisemitism in their handling of student protests.
