BREAKING: California Supreme Court orders UC Berkeley to accept at least 3,000 fewer students for the upcoming academic year.
BEREKELEY, Calif. -- The University of California, Berkeley was ordered by California's Supreme Court on Thursday to freeze its undergraduate enrollment at 2020-21 levels, meaning it will have to accept at least 3,000 fewer students than planned for the upcoming academic year.
An Alameda County Superior Court in August sided with the Berkeley residents, suspending a proposed faculty housing and classroom construction project, and ordered the campus to limit enrollment to its 2020-2021 level of just over 42,000 students. An appeals court last month denied UC's request to lift the enrollment freeze as the case continues. The decision prompted Gov. Gavin Newsom to file a friend of the court brief asking the California Supreme Court to block the enrollment cap, saying in a statement that a lawsuit should not"get in the way of the education and dreams of thousands of students who are our future leaders and innovators.
