This decision aligns with a broader trend among higher education institutions to limit official commentary on contentious topics. Regent Mark Bernstein emphasized the policy aims to empower individual faculty

Lawsuit challenges holistic admissions, racial preferences at UC
A federal lawsuit has been filed against the University of California (UC) system, alleging its admissions policies unlawfully favor Black and Latino applicants, thereby disadvantageous to white and Asian American students. The suit, initiated by the group Students Against Racial Discrimination, contends that UC’s practices violate both state and federal laws prohibiting racial preferences in public education. The plaintiffs argue that despite California’s Proposition 209 — enacted in 1996 to ban the consideration of race in public education — the UC system covertly incorporates racial preferences through its holistic admissions process. This approach evaluates applicants based on a range of

Earlier this year, several eighth graders at Great Valley Middle School in Malvern, Pennsylvania, created TikTok accounts impersonating teachers, leading to a wave of online harassment that shook the school.

These accounts featured real photos of the teachers, often including their families, accompanied by inappropriate and offensive content. The posts ranged from pedophilia innuendos to racist memes and fabricated sexual encounters between staff members.

Lawsuit claims LAUSD misused tens of millions intended for arts education
In 2022, California voters overwhelmingly passed Proposition 28, intended to expand funding for the arts in public schools. Yet according to the claims of a lawsuit, the Los Angeles Unified School District kept much of that money from ever reaching its intended recipients. Under the terms of the measure, the state was required to increase funds available for music and art education programs by 1% of the minimum overall funding required by state law. For LAUSD, that meant a $77 million increase. The money was redirected to school districts from California’s General Fund. The lawsuit was filed by former LAUSD

LOS ANGELES — A legal advocacy group representing undocumented students filed a lawsuit against the University of California, challenging the system’s policy that prevents students without legal immigration status from holding campus jobs. The lawsuit alleges the University of California, a public system, discriminates against undocumented students by denying them employment opportunities available to other enrolled students, violating the state’s Fair Employment and Housing Act. The legal action follows UC President Michael Drake’s January decision to block the implementation of a policy approved by the UC Board of Regents in April 2023 that would have allowed undocumented students to work

UCLA team breaks chemistry rules to create new path for drug development
University of California, Los Angeles scientists have turned organic chemistry on its head by disproving a rule that’s been around for 100 years. Neil Garg and his team at UCLA showed that some supposedly impossible molecules can actually be made, publishing their work in science. Garg is the Kenneth N. Trueblood Distinguished Professor of Chemistry and Biochemistry at UCLA. Bredt’s rule, established in 1924, has long dictated that certain double bonds cannot exist at specific positions on organic molecules due to geometric constraints. This rule has limited chemists’ ability to design and synthesize certain compounds, particularly in drug discovery efforts.

How multilingualism may boost cognitive skills in children with autism
Recent research suggests that children with autism spectrum disorder may experience significant cognitive benefits from growing up in multilingual environments, according to a study by University of California, Los Angeles Health researchers. The study, published in Autism Research, reveals that children from multilingual households, both with and without autism, demonstrated enhanced executive function capabilities compared to their peers in monolingual households. These improvements encompassed crucial skills such as attention control, cognitive flexibility, and social perspective-taking. Dr. Lucina Uddin, professor of Psychiatry and Biobehavioral Sciences at UCLA Health and director of the UCLA Brain Connectivity and Cognition Laboratory, led the investigation.

Fake nudes, real punishment: How these explicit deepfakes cost these students their education
Five Beverly Vista Middle School students have been expelled for creating and sharing explicit AI-generated images of their classmates. During a special meeting on March 6, the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD) decided on the expulsions, but California Education Code restricted the details shared. While specifics are limited due to student privacy regulations, according to the LA Weekly, reports indicate the disturbing practice involved digitally superimposing eighth-graders’ faces onto AI-generated nude bodies, a technique known as “deepfakes.” Shockingly, a total of 16 students were victimized by these manipulated images, which were swiftly destroyed within 24 hours of school officials

Is your 4-year-old ready for school? California says yes
The Golden State is making transitional kindergarten an option for all four-year-olds. As California expands this program statewide, parents are mulling over whether to enroll their preschoolers in transitional kindergarten. Transitional kindergarten acts as a bridge, helping little ones adjust to the classroom setting through interactive play that builds social abilities. Back in 2012, transitional kindergarten kicked off to give those youngsters who narrowly missed kindergarten age cutoffs a head start. These days, California is throwing open the doors of transitional kindergarten to any four-year-old wanting that pre-kindergarten experience. The timeline is: By fall 2025 and future years, any child
