Gov. Gavin Newsom signed emergency legislation late Monday that lifted a controversial, court-ordered enrollment freeze at UC Berkeley, raising the hopes of prospective students who feared they might be among 2,600 who otherwise may not be admitted this fall.
The governor’s action, which came just a few hours after the Legislature unanimously passed Senate Bill 118 and Assembly Bill 168, immediately modified the decades-old California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) that spawned the freeze.
