Monday July 19, 2021 - 06:36:00 PM This feels like a week to pour a glass of wine, pick up a mindless book and eat chocolate. That is as long as there is water left to grow the grapes and the crop doesn’t cook in a heat dome and the tiny chocolate midge insects survive to pollinate the cocoa plant. The drought map https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/ looks worse each week and unless we can learn to appreciate the critical importance of insects and their host plants a lot more is at risk than just chocolate. Summer has barely started. The West is burning and so is Siberia. The flood waters in Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium are starting to recede and we are supposed to be on watch for lightening. As for mindless books, there is no shortage, but I can’t seem to pull my head out of the books on politics and the environment.

The city of Berkeley is dropping its objections to a University of California construction project on the northeast edge of campus and to continued increases in UC Berkeley enrollment in exchange for $82.64 million over the next 16 years to cover the city’s added costs in police and fire safety and other services.
In the settlement, Berkeley also agreed to withdraw lawsuits over the university’s plans for student housing at People’s Park and the 750-bed Anchor House project on the northwest side of campus, to a beach volleyball facility for women at the Clark Kerr campus, six blocks southeast of the main campus, and to UC’s long-range development plan that projects 48,200 students by 2036, an incre
A California appeals court on Thursday upheld a lower court s ruling barring the University of California from using the SAT or ACT in admitting students to any of its campuses this year.
The appeals court ruling largely addressed the legal standards for appeals and didn t focus on the merits of the decision. The appeals court found that the University of California had not shown that it would be irreparably harmed by the ruling.
But it left in place the lower court s ruling that effectively turned the UC system into a test-blind college system.
While the plaintiffs decry the asserted, racially discriminatory and classist impact of the tests, their primary argument is that the current test optional policy at most of the UC campuses denies … applicants with disabilities meaningful access to the additional admissions opportunity that test-submitters will enjoy, in large part because they will not have taken these tests and will not be able to take them with appropriate acc

The University of California system said Friday in a legal settlement that it will be putting an end to SAT and ACT score admission requirements.
In the settlement with students and advocacy groups, the university said that SAT and ACT scores sent as part of admissions applications between fall 2021 and spring 2025 will not be considered in admission decisions.
In May 2020, the institution agreed to get rid of SAT and ACT score considerations for admission by fall 2025.
The settlement puts an end to a legal dispute over the consideration of standardized test scores for admission to the UC system.
