As tensions escalate between the Trump administration and California, potential cuts to federal funding for the University of California and Cal State systems are pending. Experts, including Bay Area leaders, warn that these cuts could severely impact research, innovation, and healthcare advancements. Despite no official announcement yet, state Democrats are mobilizing to combat these potential funding reductions. High-profile politicians, including Nancy Pelosi and Jackie Speier, express strong opposition, emphasizing the critical role these institutions play in developing lifesaving technologies and therapies, which could be jeopardized by diminished federal support.
The technology we produce for the U.S. and the world, a lot of that is rooted in basic science and scientific research, and a lot of that is at the University of California.
Whatever cruel crusade the President may announce against California, we will fight back.
Cutting federal funding for local universities would set us back by 15 years in terms of research value.
They have done extraordinary research in saving lives, and be able to extend lives. Really doing breaking therapies and cancer research.
