A district judge on Tuesday ordered the partial restoration of federal funding to the University of California, Los Angeles, after the Trump administration paused more than $550 million to the institution. U.S. District Judge Rita Lin ruled that some of the paused grants violate a previous preliminary injunction where she said the administration had to restore funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) that was stripped back in June.
The Los Angeles Times reported UCLA will see one-third of the funding restored from this decision.
The judge gave the Trump administration until Aug. 19 to prove it has unfrozen funds or to provide an explanation on why the steps have not been taken.
The Hill has reached out to the NSF and the University of California system for comment.
The decision comes as the White House is eyeing a $1 billion settlement with the university for the federal funding to be restored, along with other concessions such as changes to admissions practices and a ban on transgender athletes competing in girl's sports.
The pulled grants came after the Department of Justice determined UCLA was violating civil rights law due to antisemitism on campus.
The University of California is engaged in conversation with the Trump administration to restore the funding and the institution’s ability to apply for new grants.
“Currently, a total of approximately $584 million in extramural award funding is suspended and at risk,” Julio Frenk, chancellor of the university, wrote in a letter that went out to the community. “If these funds remain suspended, it will be devastating for UCLA and for Americans across the nation.”
