We know that many people in our Bruin community are experiencing uncertainty around federal policy actions. The University of California Office of the President — in collaboration with UCLA leadership and federal government relations experts — is working to understand new directives, assess their impact, ensure compliance, challenge directives when appropriate and support our community. Our top priority is to maintain clarity and stability so our important mission of teaching, research and service can continue.
