Trump demands on UCLA: "anti-Western" foreign students will not be admitted, trans identities no longer recognized

The Trump administration’s settlement proposal to UCLA — which includes a nearly $1.2-billion fine over allegations of antisemitism and civil rights violations — seeks to drastically overhaul campus practices on hiring, admissions, sports, scholarships, discrimination and gender identity, a Times review of the document shows.

The 28-page letter — whose full contents have not been made public — also lays out in sweeping detail how it wants the university to enforce new policies that adhere to the president’s conservative agenda.

The more than 7,300-word proposal outlines a three-year agreement that calls on UCLA to:

Make five years of payments — $200 million annually — and set up a $172 million fund for people with claims of civil rights violations.

Ensure foreign students who are “anti-Western” will not be admitted.

Pay for all costs of the settlement, including the fee for an outside monitor.

Annually release demographic data for hires as well as students who have applied or have been admitted, broken down by “race, color, grade point average, and performance on standardized tests.”

Make a public statement declaring that transgender people’s identities are no longer recognized.

End gender-affirming care for minors at medical facilities.

Give the government access to “all UCLA staff, employees, facilities, documents, and data related to the agreement” not protected by attorney-client privilege.

I didn't assume. He is friends with my grandson. We got to talking yesterday, and he mentioned visiting relatives in China. We had a nice talk about various topics. He reminded me of the exchange and international students we met, even though he's Chinese American. I'm afraid I took a walk down memory lane, but I hope some of the information was as interesting to him

I will treasure every meeting I have that reminds me of what America is and not the twisted back alley traitor felon and his thugs are trying to create.
