California Supreme Court

California Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1307, previously passed unanimously in the state senate and assembly, Thursday.

California lawmakers are attempting to bypass ongoing litigation in the state Supreme Court to directly approve UC Berkeley’s student housing plan on People’s Park.

The city of Berkeley secured a $5.1 million fund from the Alameda County Transportation Commission, or ACTC, for the Berkeley Pier with Ferry Access Project last Thursday, according to a press release from Berkeley city Councilmember Rigel Robinson.

On Wednesday the California Supreme Court decided to hear UC Berkeley’s appeal of their case for development of People’s Park.

ASUC senators discussed upcoming projects with campus administration and passed new resolutions at the weekly Senate meeting Wednesday.

An appellate court ruled Friday that UC Berkeley may not proceed with plans to build student and low-income housing at People’s Park, prompting calls from local and state officials to reform the California Environmental Quality Act, or CEQA, at the heart of the lawsuit.

On Wednesday, the California Supreme Court issued a ruling ending a nearly five-year legal battle for over $545 million in Bay Area bridge tolls. 

Midterm elections might not determine the next president of the United States, but the upcoming elections still have a lot at stake for voters everywhere.

Campus third-year Daniel Edrisian was among the many UC Berkeley students who were disappointed about the court decision to limit campus enrollment.

Concerns about campus funding are being raised following the California Supreme Court decision that will cause UC Berkeley to freeze fall in-person enrollment at 2020-21 levels.
