California lawmakers are fast-tracking a proposal that could allow the University of California, Berkeley, to admit as many students as it had planned to for the fall semester despite a recent judicial freeze on enrollment
FILE - Students walk past Sather Gate on the University of California at Berkeley campus in Berkeley, Calif., May 10, 2018. California lawmakers are fast-tracking a proposal that could allow the University of California, Berkeley, to admit as many students as it planned for the fall semester despite a judicial freeze on enrollment. Both the Senate and Assembly are scheduled to vote on the idea on Monday, March 14, 2022. SACRAMENTO, Calif.
The prestigious public university announced last month it was being forced to reject 5,000 applicants this spring so UC Berkeley could enrollment by 3,000 students to comply with an Alameda County judge's ruling freezing student enrollment at 2020-21 levels. The university has since lowered the figure of applicants it plans to reject who would have been accepted to about 2,600.
“If this bill is not passed, countless young people in our state will be left out of our higher education system,” said Michelle Andrews, a third-year student at the University of California, Davis, said in testimony to lawmakers Monday ahead of their votes. “Additional students will put more pressure on the local housing market and increase rents for everybody, hitting low-income students and low-income non-student families the hardest,” said Phil Bokovoy, president of Save Berkeley's Neighborhoods, the nonprofit group that filed the lawsuit that led to the enrollment freeze.
