So the university is able to preserve a historic landmark while the City of Berkeley struggles to save one of theirs.
The Chron reports that Bowles Hall will continue to be what is today—home to 200 testosterone-saturated, immature freshmen. OK, that’s not exactly what the Chron said, but that’s what we gather from the report.
In November, the Haas School of Business stated its intentions to take Bowles and turn it into some special educational center and hotel for 30 to 40-somethings.
“Other options are being looked into, but nothing far along yet,” campus spokeswoman Marie Felde said.
The Bowles Hall Alumni Association must be relatively happy.
The alumni association questioned where it was “ethically appropriate for UC, or any university, to replace the wishes of donors of yesterday with the wishes of donors of today.”
At least the donors are assured that the largest sausage-fest on campus is still going to continue on next year.
