"A Times review of the Trump administrations settlement proposal to UCLA lays out sweeping demands on numerous aspects of campus life.
The government has fined UCLA nearly $1.2 billion to settle allegations of civil rights violations.
Hiring, admissions and the definitions of gender are among the areas the Department of Justice seeks to change.
1. Make five years of payments $200 million annually and set up a $172 million fund for people with claims of civil rights violations.
2. Ensure foreign students who are anti-Western will not be admitted.
3. Pay for all costs of the settlement, including the fee for an outside monitor.
4. 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.
5. Make a public statement declaring that transgender peoples identities are no longer recognized.
6. End gender-affirming care for minors at medical facilities.
7. Give the government access to all UCLA staff, employees, facilities, documents, and data related to the agreement not protected by attorney-client privilege.
