On July 29, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) announced it had agreed to pay $6.45 million to settle complaints over antisemitic discrimination during on-campus pro-Palestinian demonstrations last year.
As part of the settlement, UCLA will contribute a total of $2.33 million to eight organizations that combat antisemitism and support the UCLA Jewish community, including Hillel at UCLA, Jewish Federation Los Angeles – Campus Impact Network, and Chabad of UCLA; $320,000 to UCLA’s Initiative to Combat Antisemitism; $50,000 payments to each of the four plaintiffs; and $3.6 million for attorneys’ fees and costs. Additionally, UCLA agreed to a permanent court order to prohibit knowingly allowing or facilitating the exclusion of Jewish students from on-campus areas, programs, and activities.
