UC Commits $7 Million to Address Campus Bigotry and Intolerance The University of California (UC) has announced a $7 million commitment to address acts of bigotry, intolerance, and intimidation on its campuses. This funding will be used to provide emergency mental health resources, develop educational programs, and offer training for faculty and staff. The move comes as tensions are high due to the Israel-Hamas war, and amid calls from government officials to ensure the safety of Jewish, Arab, and Muslim students on college campuses. UC’s president, Michael Drake, highlighted the importance of compassion and understanding in difficult moments, emphasizing that the university is committed to finding multiple solutions to complex issues. The announcement also included the creation of a systemwide civil rights office, which will house an anti-discrimination office, a disability rights office, and UC’s existing Title IX office. The university aims to implement these measures promptly in collaboration with its 10 campuses.
