Why go by fake and planted data. This is the genuine list of Nobel Prizes won by institutions. University of California tops this list. Its endowment is less than half of Harvard; http://www.nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/lists/universities.html
Friends,
I am preparing an item called ==Controversies involving the University of California== and would like to think there won't be a howl of protest and a delete war when I post it. the list is extensive and verifiable and includes such issues as the 1950s loyalty oath, free speech at Berkeley, the bomb, the BP deal etc. We can quibble over what defines a controversy, but i would like to post my list and discuss it rather than fight for its existence.

please update all University of California and California State University rankings. This years rankings are at the us ranking page. https://www.usnews.com/best-colleges
The {{ About}} section of this page can be misleading. The sentence "For the university known as California, see University of California, Berkeley" mentions that UC Berkeley is also known as "California", which is not true; I therefore recommend that this line be deleted, or changed to "For its first campus, see University of California, Berkeley". I also recommend that the part about California State University be put into a {{ Distinguish}} statement. Windywendi ( talk) 00:38, 18 April 2022 (UTC)
I'm going to remove the improper references to "library systems" in the article. As most UC alumni are aware, one of UC's traditions is referring to the "Library" at each campus even when the "Library" is physically organized into multiple libraries. Thus, UC Berkeley Library and UCLA Library. Coolcaesar ( talk) 05:50, 27 February 2023 (UTC)
To give everyone a heads up: Later this year, I'm planning to add an endnote to the articles on the University of California and the California State University, using the efn tag, and with appropriate citations to both universities' brand guidelines, to note the style difference on the issue of whether definite articles are mandatory with the initialisms UC and CSU. For example, the official University of California web site consistently refers to "UC" with no definite article, while the official California State University web site consistently refers to "the CSU" with a definite article. Then I will edit both articles to follow those conventions. Any objections? Coolcaesar ( talk) 06:59, 27 January 2024 (UTC)
My edit adding information stating that UC Berkeley is the flagship campus of the system was reverted, so I figured I'd take it to the talk page for more opinions. I think it should be added because it is the original "University of California," and it has been referred to as the flagship by themselves and a variety of independent sources.
