LOS ANGELES (KABC) -- The Trump administration is seeking $1 billion from UCLA over allegations of antisemitism in what could reportedly be the largest settlement between the administration and an institution of higher education, a White House official said Friday.
The administration claims the university violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which protects against employment discrimination related to race, color, religion, sex, national origin or shared ancestry, including Jewish and Israeli identity, according to a report from the Los Angeles Times .
In the settlement, UCLA would pay the billion-dollar fine in installments over time in addition to contributing $172 million to pay students and other individuals impacted by alleged discrimination, the Times said, citing sources.
