Even without the AI investment UCI has manufactured budget cuts by reallocating over $10m/ year combined to Biology, Engineering and Medicine. See Chis Newfield's great analysis on his blog.
At a moment when @ucirvine.bsky.social is cutting dozens of faculty positions in the Humanities, it is investing $1m in providing a "personalized learning ecosystem" with generative AI chatbots to students in large lecture courses.

16.09.2025 17:17 β π 1 π 0 π¬ 1 π 0I was shocked to be reading this for the first time. UCOP officials knew when they signed it that it would be applied by Trumpβs Office of Civil Rights, not Bidenβs. Biden would be gone in a month so what was the point? The Agreement may have served as a template for Trumpβs demands of Columbia University and other universities. In my non-expert opinion, it breaches the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) that protects the privacy of student educational dataβone could at least make a case. As UC strategy, it seems deeply inept. And, again to the theme, UCOP doesnβt protect its own community but exposes it to danger. It does this without the due process or the basic decency of openly explaining what they did or how they will minimize the damage.
. @cnewf.bsky.social on the December 2024 @uofcalifornia.bsky.social deal with the lame duck Biden admin to obligate the UC to coordinate its enforcement of civil rights law on UC campuses with the incoming Trump administration.

This is exactly why @ucla.edu must not settle with the Trump administration. It will only set a precedent for shaking down the whole system, then for going after other public research 1 universities after that.

The only reason to get an LRAD for UCI Health is to put down labor actions.
