Berkeley Got Its Liberalism in Freefall
George Will surveys a New Yorker report on Berkeley and California liberalism. He contrasts 1960s protest legacies with today’s budget crisis, UC cuts, and rising fees. He notes faculty hiring declines, state budget strain, and claims of a “unionocracy” as public employee benefits lift costs and curb growth.
