According to a story in the Oakland Trib, UC Berkeley still wants to try to settle a lawsuit with the city of Berkeley concerning that new student athlete high performance center that the university wants to build right next to Memorial Stadium.
But Cal has apparently set a deadline, according to Chancellor Robert Birgeneau.
bq. “(The deadline for a settlement is Sept. 18) and we will be working with them to the last minute,” Birgeneau said at his on-campus back-to-school briefing before the fall semester starts Monday.
Why Sept. 18? That’s because that’s the day before this lawsuit goes to trial.
But of course, the city says that they have seen a settlement proposal.
bq. “We had a settlement meeting with them, and they didn’t offer anything,” Deputy City Attorney Zach Cowen said. “We haven’t received anything that says, ‘Here’s what we’ve decided we’re going to do.’”
And interestingly enough, the public can vote on this issue. You can head over to kitchendemocracy.com and voice your opinion on whether or not Cal should build the Student-Athlete Performance Center. As of right now, you, the public think that the thing should be built.
