9:04Now PlayingThe Trump administration is seeking a $1 billion settlement from the University of California, Los Angeles, CNN has exclusively learned, marking the latest effort by the White House to shape higher education and extract significant concessions from universities.
Last week, the Trump administration began freezing millions in funding to UCLA, with the school’s chancellor Julio Frenk saying in a letter to the university community this week that $584 million “is suspended and at risk” and warning of “devastating” consequences to its research mission.
Officials from UCLA have now returned to the negotiating table, a source familiar with the matter said, and have made clear they would like to reach a deal to restore that funding. The Trump administration, in turn, is laying its marker for a high-dollar settlement.
CNN correspondent Julia Vargas Jones reports, and Fredricka Whitfield speaks with Dr. Robert Shackleford, professor of medicine at UCLA. #CNN #News
