In the face of a $77 million campus deficit, an ongoing housing crisis and burgeoning student enrollment, Chancellor Carol Christ released an email Wednesday outlining a new strategic vision to guide UC Berkeley over the course of the next decade.
A handful of “high priority” recommendations were also identified in the report, such as doubling campus housing units for both undergraduate and graduate students, according to Richard Lyons, dean of the Haas School of Business.
“With respect to housing, the plan strongly endorses full implementation of the recommendation of the 2017 Housing Task Force that the campus roughly double housing for students within the next ten years,” Lyons said in an email.
