University of California freshmen applications hit new high

[ucbalumnus]

@blueskies2day

recruited athletes at UCLA and UCB are signing NLOIs a year and often times more before the application cycle.

Presumably, step 1 of the process described above ensures that only those athletes which are academically admissible (by either the regular or special athlete process) according to the policy are recruited to sign such letters of intent.

@blueskies2day

Not sure where these written rules are being found or who actually follows them; but what is described above is nothing like the way things are done.

The rules come from the Berkeley Academic Senate. See http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/committees/aepe .

According to http://academic-senate.berkeley.edu/about-senate (emphasis added),

@University of California

As mandated by the University’s governing body, the Board of Regents, the faculty is empowered to determine academic policy; set conditions for admission and the granting of degrees; authorize and supervise courses and curricula; and advise the administration on faculty appointments, promotions and budgets. This delegated authority makes the UC Academic Senate unique among faculty governments.
