Text of the page (random words):
s greatly benefited the law faculty at berkeley by granting them similar autonomy but also engendered intense resentment towards them from the faculty of all other academic units at the berkeley campus who proceeded to strip the law faculty of the right to sit on any academic senate committee with power over appointments courses or budgets outside of the law school 1 211 215 the deep rupture between the law and non law faculty caused great consternation for clark kerr throughout his term as berkeley chancellor as well as his early years as university president 1 211 215 it was not until 1961 that a satisfactory compromise was reached by which the school of law faculty were restored to full senate membership 1 211 215 a new building edit while ucla law was indirectly wreaking all this havoc on its northern sibling the new law building at berkeley was under construction the law school moved into its new building in fall 1951 1 207 the formal dedication ceremony was delayed to march 18 1952 in order to take place as part of the festivities leading up to the celebration of charter day on march 23 1 207 the new law building was dedicated as the new boalt hall the old law building was renamed durant hall after housing the east asian library for five decades it was renovated in 2010 to house the offices of the deans of the college of letters and science a widely circulated but probably apocryphal story is that the original plans provided for the new law building s main facade main entrance and library windows to face west along a north south axis along college avenue which was permanently closed north of bancroft way for the new project 1 205 much of the upper level of the law building would have enjoyed a view of san francisco bay 1 205 the building to the west that now obstructs that view did not exist in 1951 however the project went awry when the local zeta psi fraternity refused to leave its fraternity house at 2251 college avenue at the north end of the proposed building site 1 205 at the time zeta psi had enough political influence with the board of regents and president robert gordon sproul to stand their ground 1 205 as a result the building plans were rotated counterclockwise in a hurry to face bancroft way to the south along an east west axis 1 205 this is supposedly why the law building then looked so bland to visitors approaching along bancroft way from its west or east sides and still looks bland on its west side today because the large blank walls were originally intended to be the north and south ends of the building 1 205 to make them more attractive it was decided to add large aluminum tablets with lengthy inscriptions and prosser personally selected quotations by oliver wendell holmes and benjamin cardozo 1 205 in 1966 the eastern side was later replaced with simon hall at the corner of bancroft way and piedmont avenue ironically zeta psi benefited from that particular location for only five more years the fraternity was facing the same postwar growth pressures as the rest of uc berkeley and agreed with the university in 1956 to trade 2251 college avenue for a larger building on a university owned parcel at 2728 bancroft way across the street to the south 2251 college avenue still stands today next to the law building and is now the home of the archaeological research facility however in 2010 berkeley law archivist william benemann cast doubt on the part of the foregoing story about how the law building had to be rotated counterclockwise at the last minute by explaining that it finds no support in the personal papers of the law building s architect warren perry which were deposited with uc berkeley s bancroft library 14 drawings dated as early as may 1945 show the law building in its current east west orientation facing bancroft way to the south 14 perry did mention in a 1953 letter that the law building had to be crowded on a much smaller lot than was originally intended because of an immovable fraternity to the north but never mentioned rotation 14 in other words the law building was deliberately designed to avoid the preexisting fraternity house and the obvious flaws of its design cannot be blamed on a last minute rotation 14 perry had originally included large windows for the lecture halls these were removed at the request of faculty members who thought the bay view would be too distracting 14 berkeley law edit in april 2008 the law school rebranded itself 15 berkeley law to disentangle the confused usage which had grown over time confusing the formal name of the school of law with the name of the building it occupied and to more clearly align the school s name with its parent university the administration hoped that this would improve the law school s national and international name recognition as many individuals knew uc berkeley had a law school but were often confused as to whether the name boalt hall referred to a separate institution despite the official name change boalt hall continued to be used as the name of the law school s primary building and to refer to the law school informally for another 12 years 16 17 by 2009 berkeley law was again desperately short of space because the faculty had increased by about 25 percent over the previous four years 18 the law school launched a multi year renovation and expansion project which was eventually completed in 2012 the most important improvement was to relocate and expand the law library into an underground facility under a new south pavilion 18 since the mid 1990s the law library stacks had been crammed into conventional shelving in the law school s north addition construction contractors dug a deep hole in the middle of the law school s courtyard put the law library stacks two levels underground and installed powered compact shelving units that move at the touch of a button 19 at ground level they built a glass pavilion housing classrooms a student lounge and a cafe all of which is topped off by a rooftop garden accessible by a second floor bridge 19 the north addition is now home to the robbins collection a separate library of religious and civil law materials and the visiting scholar program on january 30 2020 the uc regents completely removed the name boalt hall from berkeley s primary law school building and in all references made to the law school 20 the de naming was the outcome of a nearly three year process launched after a uc berkeley lecturer discovered writings by john henry boalt expressing flagrantly racist views 20 in an e mail sent to the university at the time uc berkeley chancellor carol christ wrote boalt made profoundly offensive and racist statements about chinese and chinese americans suggesting that it would be better to exterminate those of chinese descent than to have them assimilate 20 the university also found that boalt had no other historical legacy than his racism and that naming the building after him had not been a condition of his widow s donation 20 this was the first time in uc berkeley s history that the name of a building had been removed because its eponym s values did not align with those of the university 20 going forward the law school building will now be known simply as the law building 20 ucla and uc irvine have always used the term law building to describe the homes of their respective law schools in april 2023 the law school became one of the first to announce a formal policy on the use of artificial intelligence such as chatgpt students would be allowed to use the technology for research or grammar checks but not on exams or composing assignment submissions nor in such a way that would constitute plagiarism however the policy was a default with individual professors allowed to shift from the rules if they gave prior written notice to students professor chris hoofnagle who worked with the policy with two others said it was an attempt to find a balance given how widespread
