Overview
- The Goldwater Institute filed a lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court accusing UCLA of violating the California Public Records Act by withholding records tied to activist-in-residence Lisa Gray-Garcia.
- The institute says it requested the records on Oct. 31, 2025, that UCLA repeatedly postponed delivery, and that a March 13 production date set by the university passed with no records.
- The request seeks Gray-Garcia’s contract, compensation, syllabi, course materials, emails containing terms such as “Israel,” “Palestine,” “genocide,” or “Zionist,” and orientation files for a program reported to pay a $10,000 stipend.
- The complaint asks a judge to order disclosure and award attorney fees and damages, and the articles reported no public response from UCLA.
- Gray-Garcia’s mandatory medical-school sessions drew complaints and Justice Department attention for “Free Palestine” chants and a “Mama Earth” kneeling ritual, and the new case arrives as UCLA also faces a DOJ anti‑Semitism lawsuit and a Students for Fair Admissions complaint.
