The Daily Cal Stamp of Approval
Stadium Plan GOOD! Important notes:
The southeast development plan is a boon for anyone concerned with keeping UC Berkeley at the top of everyone's list of destinations. In a week when the name of UC President Robert Dynes was leaked as a potential candidate for President of Harvard University, the level of prestige and commitment to success at the flagship UC campus should be on everyone's mind. And it is hard to argue that the new developments will bring changes that make UC Berkeley a significantly more attractive school. Be sure to read that last sentence carefully.
Whatever the outcome, the city and university should try to settle the dispute through bargaining rather than litigation. If the 2005 settlement is a model, this will likely produce an outcome with fewer hard feelings and less wasted time. If you read the Daily Planet, you know that there are still hard feelings over the 2005 settlement. I dunno how effective it'd be as a model.
