Jaweed Kaleem, an education reporter for the Los Angeles Times, Eric Kelderman, a senior writer at The Chronicle of Higher Education, and Siobhan Braybrook, an associate professor at UCLA, dive into the contentious $1 billion fine and grant freeze imposed by the Trump administration on UCLA. They discuss allegations of antisemitism and discrimination in admissions that have sparked significant backlash. The trio also explores how these developments may affect higher education, the strain on academic programs, and the tension between university funding and political pressures.
