How Charles R. Drew University Navigated More Than $20 Million in Fed Cuts – Still Prioritizing Students and Community Health

by California Black Media November 12, 2025November 12, 2025

Charles R. Drew University of Medicine and Science (CDU) faced a $20 million grant cut earlier this year, but the school quickly reallocated funds to protect its staff and students, while also expanding funding sources and exploring ways to make education more affordable.

Under AB 1264, recently signed into law by Governor Gavin Newsom, CA became the first state in the nation to ban ultra-processed foods in schools. Ultra-processed foods are defined in the state as any food or beverage that contains thickeners and flavor enhancers, high amounts of saturated fat, sodium, or added sugar, or a nonnutritive sweetener.
