You. You are seriously asserting that the student body at Berkeley is not almost compeltely liberal? Why would a conservative subject themselves to 4 years at such a place?
UC-Berkeley happens to have some programs that are top 5 in the world for the various areas of study. And conflating Berkeley County with the University is probably not a legitimate tactic of argument.
After turning down Berkeley when I first moved to CA because of the whack-o leftism that is rampant there, and obtaining a degree from a less prestigious school, I recently completed postgraduate work at Berkeley solely because of the standing Boalt Hall has - it was undeniable. However, it is just as undeniable that the school is teeming with lefties, both in the faculty and the student body.
The "protesters" were made up of a mix of ideologies (90% left, 10% "other") the vandals were undeniably (there's that word again) bent left.

That's hilarious.
Sadly, it's not only Berkeley that is that arrogantly stupid, there are a few CA towns that made similar ordinances. I'm not really sure how the Berkeley Nuclear Engineering Dept. even exists.
Here's an article regarding the freaking library needing a waver from the city (Peace and Justice Commission - I kid you not) in order to contract with 3M to service check-out scanners.
