There is no legal basis for the fine.
- dmitrygr 1y agoThat is an entirely different argument, not the one I was responding to
- polski-g 1y agoWhen you are ignorant about the world, it becomes a very confusing place. https://x.com/JohnDSailer/status/1907794415436873742?t=Zw9FFVC-NbpuDBmH58BIew&s=19 https://x.com/JohnDSailer/status/1907794415436873742?t=Zw9FF... There are dozens of examples of UCLA violating federal civil rights laws. You just decided to pretend they don't exist.
- SubiculumCode 1y agoThat is not relevant to what I am saying at all. I am saying that there is no legal basis for demanding 1 Billion dollars in as that is 1) a made up number from Trump's head, 2) UCLA is innocent until proven guilty, 3) withholding Federal grants duly awarded violates impoundment.
- polski-g 1y agoThat's why it's a settlement offer, not a judgement. If they think they're innocent, they can go through discovery and go to trial. But for the same reason Columbia settled: they know they broke the law. They used protected characteristics in hiring decisions.
- SubiculumCode 1y agoAnd the suspension of grants? And is settlement offers even legal in this context?
- polski-g 1y agoThe suspension of grants is not the DOJ. It is the DOE for violations of Title 9.
- SubiculumCode 1y agoThen why is the resumption of those grants tied to it?
- SubiculumCode 1y agoHow is the suspension of a research grant even related to a violation of title 9? It's bullshit, and everyone knows it, because it is actually extortionistic bullshit.
