The dean of the University of California at Berkeley’s law school would like to partly privatize the school.
Under the proposal, the law school would continue to maintain a commitment to public service and ties to Berkeley’s academic departments. Dean Christopher Edley would also like to see it maintain the same level-30 percent-of public support it currently receives, with state money going mainly toward faculty salaries. But he’d like to supplement those funds with a significant increase in private contributions.
