<p>First off, I'm not hating on Berkeley. I LOVE Berkeley. I love it so much that I want it to stay relevant. So... Here's some tough love:</p>
<p>What's up with Berkeley's website? It is seriously one of the most inconsistent and poorly-designed websites around. Berkeley partly prides itself on its excellent science/engineering departments. And yet, it has one of the least technologically advanced and least innovate websites of all top-tier universities.</p>
<p>Small example:
MIT math: MIT</a> Mathematics
Cal math: UC</a> Berkeley Department of Mathematics</p>
<p>They should really use MIT's website as a starting point to see how they can improve their web presence and image in a functional way that would help their school. (Example: MIT's opencourseware; MIT's math department website has actual information on it and doesn't just resemble a counselor's departmental information sheet as does Berkeley's website.)</p>
<p>I mean, look at what UCLA did to their image a few years ago! Their image and website is GREAT. I think Berkeley's image is already good (timelessly classic logo), but their web presence is just awful.</p>
<p>Does anyone else agree with me? This is an important thing in this day and age.</p>
<p>How do we get them to consider such a thing?</p>
