The University of California, Berkeley was ordered by the state 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 in the upcoming academic year.
The ruling is a victory for some residents of the city of Berkeley, who had sued the university for accepting more and more students without providing enough housing for them, though their lawsuit blocked construction of planned off-campus faculty housing. But it is a major blow to many applicants to the prestigious public university and means millions of dollars in lost tuition.
......
Thursday’s decision is the result of a legal battle with a residents group called Save Berkeley Neighborhoods that sued the university for failing to address the effect of increased student enrollment on housing, homelessness, traffic and noise. The lawsuit was filed under the California Environmental Quality Act, which is commonly used to stall or halt building projects.
