(The Center Square) - The University of California system sued the Trump administration, calling the UCLA federal funding freeze a violation of the First Amendment.

In August, the Trump administration froze over $500 million in federal research funding over claims of antisemitism on the college's campus.

The lawsuit was filed on Tuesday by the American Association of University Professors, representing faculty, students and unions within the University of California system.

"We will not stand by as the Trump administration destroys one of the largest public university higher education systems in the country and bludgeons academic freedom at the University of California, the heart of the revered free speech movement," said AAUP President Todd Wolfson.
