After doing some digging, it seems not many news sources have reported on the topic. Though it did become a hot topic on Twitter as Elon Musk and other right-leaning advocates took the time to criticize UCLA and what they call the “woke mind virus”. This article discusses the topic and how UCLA is poorly handling the controversies and accusations. It also has a timeline of the events that led up to the incident of half their students failing important exams. The claim being made is exaggerated as UCLA hasn’t admitted to lowering standards but they do seem to be having struggles with getting students to pass their classes.

Do you think this source is legitimate? Did you locate any original sources?

I looks like UCLA has not admitted this since the reporting on this discusses "sources" or people close to the matter.
