RALLY AGAINST THE STUDENT HOUSING PROJECT

The UC Berkeley Department of Architecture and Chancellor Nick Dirks has announced their housing plan to replace People's Park. The Dept of Architecture has been trying to build student support for the housing department, as have the student staff of the Chancellor.

Nick Dirks knows that in 4 years, People's Park can be taken away from the University and made into a California State Park.

People's Park had previously not been part of UC Berkeley's development plan, and was going to be left as a Park until at least the year 2020. UC Berkeley had spent funds looking into altering the Park's landscape, and possibly placing a cafe on the lot. The Park was going to be changed, but left as an open space, just under tighter control of the UC.

But Dirks is currently aware that UC Berkeley cannot wait until 2020. In 2019, the Park would go to the California State Parks. Now UC Berkeley has changed plans, and is going to clear out the lot to develop a student housing complex.
