Democratic lawmakers have agreed to legislation that could let the University of California, Berkeley accept thousands more students this fall after a judicial freeze on enrollment in a dispute with residents over growth.
last week to cap enrollment at one of the world’s most prestigious universities stunned state lawmakers, who said it wasn’t fair to students who had worked hard to get into UC Berkeley.
The proposal would be retroactive and if approved, make unenforceable all judgments affecting enrollment — allowing UC Berkeley to admit the number of students officials had planned to for 2022 instead of forcing a reduction in the size of the freshman class. University officials had pleaded with lawmakers for an emergency fix, saying the university needs the tuition revenue and that students should be able to have a vibrant on-campus college experience.
The state Supreme Court in a 4-2 decision declined the university’s emergency request to lift an enrollment cap ordered last year by an Alameda County Superior Court judge. The university is still appealing the entire case but that process could take months or longer — which is why state lawmakers stepped in to try to allow UC Berkeley to admit the number of students it had planned to accept.exempt from environmental review
