Lawmakers have approved a legislative Hail Mary that they say will allow UC Berkeley to admit all the new students it planned to this fall, undoing a judge’s enrollment cap. Without the bill, the campus said it would have needed to defer admissions and move other students online to satisfy the judge’s order.
The California Supreme Court ruled against the university in a battle over a proposed enrollment cap, forcing the school to reject thousands of potential new students.
