“As a public university, we are stewards of taxpayer resources, and a payment of this scale would completely devastate our country’s greatest public university system as well as inflict great harm on our students and all Californians.” —UC President James B. Milliken

Breaking News: A Trump administration settlement proposal demands more than $1 billion from UCLA. It calls for the payout to contribute to a claims fund that would compensate victims of civil rights violations after a pro-Palestinian protest on campus.

Trump Wants U.C.L.A. to Pay $1 Billion to Restore Its Research Funding

The Trump administration has ended about $500 million for the Los Angeles-based university. The president said he wanted nearly double that to restart the flow of funds.

The federal government’s demand of $1 billion from @UCLA would devastate the nation’s best public university, cut off life-saving care, halt tech and economic growth and reduce educational access.

GFR is only part of the story. The real Q is: Is there enough kidney function relative to what’s needed? In our new editorial we discuss noninvasive GFR measurement and why it must be interpreted in the context of balancing supply and demand.
