FILE - Students walk on the University of California, Berkeley campus in Berkeley, Calif., on Aug. 15, 2017. A group of residents that successfully challenged the university to limit its undergraduate enrollment offered to allow 1,000 more students in the upcoming academic year.
The ruling was a victory for the group, which argued that UC Berkeley has failed to address the effect of increased student enrollment on housing, homelessness, traffic and noise. Supporters of the university lamented that the lawsuit was dashing the dreams of thousands of students. The group's representatives said they were “willing to enter into settlement talks based on the principle that enrollment growth can only take place with no further pressure on the City of Berkeley’s housing market.”that enrollment decisions in the UC system are made by elected representatives in California — including the governor, the UC Board of Regents and the office of the UC president.
