Cap on UCB Enrollment Could Benefit California Students
Mayor Arreguin and others are dead wrong about the cap on enrollment at UC Berkeley. The number of students admitted is decided by the University, and now they choose to enroll large numbers of foreign and out of state students because they pay more.
UCB can decide to enroll more California students if it chooses to do so. So the cap will not restrict the number of freshmen from California if UCB chooses to enroll more.
Right now, there are over 45,000 students at Berkeley and there is a severe housing shortage for everyone. A cap is necessary to challenge UCB greed in enrolling foreign and out of state students and more students than it can house.
Californians support UCB and UCB can admit more Californians.
