The University of California, Berkeley called the state’s recent Supreme Court ruling “devastating news” for students who “have earned a seat” in the class for the upcoming school year. The state’s highest court chose not to look at a case first decided in the summer of 2021. That is when a lower court said the university must limit the number of students on its campus to about 42,000 for the 2022-2023 school year. Right now, about 45,000 students are at UC Berkeley. UC Berkeley is one of the top public universities in the United States. The school said it received over 128,000 applications for the upcoming freshman class. In order to meet the lower number, the university said it would bring in more students who live in California. As a result, international students and those from other American states would get fewer seats. In addition, the university said it would ask some students to take classes from home early in the school year before coming to campus in 2023. Others will have to wait one year to start their college education if they still want to come to Berkeley. The university is also asking students to consider off-campus study programs in Sacramento, the state’s capital, or Washington, D.C.
