Berkeley Regents Oppose Appeal of Loyalty Oath Rule

SAN FRANCISCO May 26 The regents of the University of California voted not to appeal last month's appellate court ruling that struck down the university loyalty declaration and ordered 18 professors rehired. Regents lawyers have appealed to the state Supreme Court, arguing a parliamentary technicality blocked the move. Six regents debated and 11 to 10 opposed appealing, with some members still open to a dual appeal. Ehrman and Collins advocated further review, while Steinhart favored blocking individual appeals. The Los Angeles appeals court had upheld a loyalty affirmation in a parallel case, prompting continued conflict over county firing rights for non signers.
