Wire: Move-in week at UC Berkeley; Israeli dance scholar alleges discrimination
Briefly

Students and parents lined up outside Unit 3 of the Durant Residence Hall on move-in day in 2024 as UC Berkeley students and their families filled dorms and apartments for the academic year. A dance scholar alleged denial of a position because she is Israeli and filed a discrimination lawsuit against UC Berkeley. The owner of a Shattuck Avenue apartment complex filed for bankruptcy as the building headed toward a foreclosure auction. BART Director Victor Flores represents Berkeley neighborhoods and exemplifies a new generation of transit board leaders. Cal partnered with Bear Republic to produce Oski's California Gold. A boy was injured outside King Middle School after a driver hit him and witnesses blamed another parked driver in a red zone. Kopi Bar plans to open inside the Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive this fall.
