On August 22, 2019, Vice Chancellor for Research Roger Wakimoto shared a document from UCOP regarding UC's Systemwide Restrictions on Engagements with Huawei. Under this moratorium, the UC will not accept new engagements or renew existing engagements with Huawei. Purchasing equipment or devices; receiving research grants or contracts; accepting gifts; entering into MOUs, membership or consortium agreements, technology transfers or licensing of UC IP; or exchanging any technical information with Huawei are prohibited. UCOP also recommends that campuses consider a moratorium on new funding from Huawei’s US subsidiary, Futurewei.
Vice Chancellor Wakimoto shared the information via BruinPost with UCLA Deans, Directors, Department Chairs, Administrative Officers, and Faculty and requested that it be distributed to appropriate UCLA researchers and staff within their respective units. Please refer to the BruinPost and guidance for more information.
