The University of California is actively cooperating with the government witch hunt against some 850 faculty members.

cucfa.org/2025/04/cucf...
At the University of California, the Office of the President (UCOP) disclosed last week the personal and demographic information of over 850 UC faculty members after being subpoenaed by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) as part of its investigation of antisemitism at UC campuses. The faculty who received these notices from UCOP were signatories of two letters addressed to university leadership. The first was an open letter to the UC Berkeley community expressing concern about “recent events in Israel and Gaza.” The second was a separate, multi-campus petition to the Regents accusing UC administrators of fomenting antisemitic hostilities toward Jewish faculty and students by not cracking down on pro-Palestinian protests.

This is a genuinely huge, sweeping victory today for the University of California—or rather, for us, its faculty, acting through our faculty associations, while the UC itself maintained a strict policy of deer-in-headlights silence.

The Trump admin has given up its appeal of a powerful injunction:

The betrayal came not from Berkeley but from the CA state level: the UC Office of the President

"several sources confirmed that other UC campuses shared data with the federal government following the UCOP directive" but these other campuses didn't inform the people whose names they gave up

UC Berkeley has been criticized for capitulating to the Trump admin's McCarthyism by providing names of 160 students, faculty, and staff dubiously accused of "antisemitism"

But it turns out Berkeley wasn't alone; it's just the only campus that was transparent about the demand for names

I gotta turn off notifications now, but thank you. I know UC admin has a lot going on right now, but frankly the extortionate settlement demand is all the more reason to refuse this invasive surveillance. Who knows what terms UC will agree to on its employees’ behalf? www.ucop.edu/president/co...

The UC President axed a signature part of our Presidents Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP). UCOP cites the budget, but PPFP is a key program the Trump admin is threatening us over.

UCOP is capitulating to Trump's threats, piecemeal. Ominous, worrying.

WE JUST KEEP WINNING. (UC President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program RESTORED!!!!)
On official UC letterhead: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA James B. Milliken President Office of the President 1111 Franklin Street Oakland, CA 94607 universityofcalifornia.edu CAMPUSES Berkeley Davis Irvine UCLA Merced Riverside San Diego San Francisco Santa Barbara Santa Cruz MEDICAL CENTERS Davis Irvine UCLA San Diego San Francisco NATIONAL LABORATORIES Lawrence Berkeley Lawrence Livermore Los Alamos DIVISION OF AGRICULTURE AND NATURAL RESOURCES November 18, 2025 Dear Chancellors: I'm writing with regard to the President's Postdoctoral Fellowship Program (PPFP) and the program's associated faculty hiring incentive. As you know, for more than 40 years, PPFP has provided postdoctoral research fellowships, professional development, and faculty mentoring to scholars in all fields whose research, teaching, and service advance the academic and research missions of the University of California. Since 2003, UC campuses that hire current and former PPFP fellows into ladder-rank positions have been eligible for a hiring incentive funded by the University that provides support for newly hired fellows for five years. Since the creation of the incentive, more than $162 million has been invested by the University to support PPFP faculty hires. This commitment has enabled our campuses to successfully recruit and retain outstanding faculty across a range of disciplines. Given the myriad challenges currently facing UC - including disruptions to billions of dollars in annual federal support, as well as uncertainty around the state budget- reasonable questions were raised in recent months about whether the University could maintain the commitment to current levels of incentive funding. After considering a recommendation to sunset the incentive program due to these significant fiscal constraints, I consulted with all of you as well as faculty and campus academic administrators and systemwide Academic Senate leadership. [continued on next image] After learning more about the history and success of the program and weighing the thoughtful perspectives that have been shared, I have concluded that barring extraordinary financial setbacks, the PPFP faculty hiring incentive program will continue while the University continues to assess the program's structure as well as its long-term financial sustainability. As a result of our continuing consultation and review, there may be consideration of some changes to elements of the program including the total number of incentives supported, a number that has fluctuated significantly over the years, and how the awards are distributed among campuses. In the meantime, the University will continue to fund the PPFP faculty hiring incentive program and campuses may continue to take advantage of these incentives. We will have an opportunity to discuss any potential changes prior to adoption. As we look to the future, I will continue to engage with faculty leaders, program stakeholders, and UC community members about this important program. I especially appreciate the thoughtful perspectives shared in recent weeks by Academic Council Chair Palazoglu and Vice Chair Scott, the Council of Graduate Deans, UC faculty members, and you as our campus leaders. Sincerely, James B. Milliken President

UC should not give personally identifiable information to federal gov, says @aaup.org. Where they already have, they need to implement harm reduction measures immediately.

This echoes the call San Diego Faculty Association made to our Chancellor and UCOP 2 weeks ago.
