Berkxit Passes, Cal Exits the University of California System
http://theblacksheeponline.com/uc-berkeley/berkxit-passes-cal-exits-university-california-systemThe referendum for the University of California at Berkeley to leave the University of California system, dubbed “Berkxit,” passed yesterday by a slight majority. Berkeley will no longer be a part of the University of California system, which previously contained nine different undergraduate campuses.
Nicholas Winfield, who spearheaded the “Berkxit” campaign, told The Black Sheep, “We are the number one public university in the country. That’s right. Number one! Number one! We are no longer dragged down by other UCs. Let this monumental vote go down in history. This is our Cal Day!”
Many Berkeley students voted to leave based on a desire to distance the reputation and culture of Berkeley from the other UCs.
Sophomore public health student Miguel Herrera said, “To hell with UC Santa Barbara, we don’t want anything to do with them or their STDs.”
