Why? What does Berkeley want to be known for? What a disgrace to CA and all the students and alumni that Berkeley has sold out its own students to appease the orange dictator. Cancel Berkeley please.
Sad, as I remember back in the '60s the school being THE institution best known for pushing First Amendment rights for students. Most every college and university now bend the knee to a wouldbe authoritarian regime?
I read that at Columbia it wasn’t an issue that started on Oct 7th. The Zionist members of the board had been trying to kick out anyone (faculty, students, administrators) that had mentioned a pro Palestinian opinion.
Can we get the personal viewpoints of the Berkeley board of directors (or high net worth donors) that might have exerted pressure? It appears that that is the Zionist playbook.
My granddaughter could have transferred to Berkeley. Glad she didn't. No telling where THEY are headed. We are not nearly the great country we once were. I am really disappointed in our military for just going along with everything.
This is disheartening and totally disgusting. How can they teach law in their law school, how are they going to give any meaning to the first amendment? Remembering the 60’s, the first amendment upheld all the people disagreeing with government policy. You could disagree with govt. policy and stay in the country. We still had the Constitution. It is those who don’t allow disagreement that don’t belong in the country. Shame on Berkeley for sinking into fascism.
UCB has not been known to me (alumna, class of '75) as a particularly "free speech university" except when students struggled against the University. The free speech movement had to fight its way to be heard on the campus, and there was much tear gas. The battle to preserve Peoples Park is another example of of UCB vs "the people" of Berkeley. I remember hearing Professor Chapala speak (in the Baechtel Building), while he was being denied tenure, under pressure by proponents of GM corn. (He had demonstrated it was contaminating traditional corn strains.) Students camped out in protest of South African apartheid with tremendous pushback from the University. Look at the names on the buildings (eg Giannini Hall) and get the flavor of corporate sponsorship.
Clickbait headlines, folks. But let’s all just choose outrage over the facts. “UC Berkeley officials said the decision to send the information to the Trump administration was made by the University of California’s systemwide general counsel.”

So sad.
Berkeley has lost all credibility

Harvard the new Berkeley.
How utterly Ironic that a college, any college should be teaching by example that due process can be ignored. That it simply doesn't matter.

Thank you for the context, Sharon. This background information is what our research was lacking.
