With numerous, quickly evolving federal policy shifts underway, the University of California is working diligently to monitor these developments and seek clarity on a range of issues. We remain committed to our UC values as stated in our Principles of Community, and we will continue to pursue UC’s mission of teaching, research, and public service in the most effective ways we can. We recognize this uncertainty has caused concern across the UC community, and we will continue to share updates and resources as they become available.

The future of the nation’s leading public university system is at stake.
The federal government’s demand of $1 billion from the University of California, Los Angeles would devastate the nation’s best public university, cut off life-saving care, halt tech and economic growth, and reduce educational access.
From medical therapies that save lives to technologies that grow the U.S. economy and research that protects our national security, Americans across the country depend on the University of California.
Right now, we need your help. We must stand together to protect our students, staff, faculty and our mission.
