Labor unions representing thousands of University of California faculty members and employees sued the Trump administration after a federal funding freeze they described as part of an illegal effort to impose conservative views on the public university system.
The coalition includes the American Association of University Professors, the American Federation of Teachers, and more than a dozen UC campus faculty associations. The labor groups are asking a federal judge to bar the administration from conditioning UC’s federal funding on acceptance of its demands and to declare the practice unconstitutional.
