REP LIEU Statement in Support of UCLA

Image August 19, 2025 Press Release LOS ANGELES - Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement in response to unprecedented attacks on UCLA by the Trump Administration. “UCLA is an engine for innovation and research, not only in our community but nationally as well. The UC system is among the best public university systems in the world and offers affordable college options for Californians. As a world-class academic institute, UCLA leads the charge on medical research, technology development, and scientific discovery. The Trump Administration’s outrageous and myopic decision to go after universities puts our country at a serious disadvantage when it comes to national security and international competition. Attacking UCLA’s research capabilities will hurt our country and our future.” ### Issues : Local Issues
