Religious studies at Berkeley (The development of religious academic programs on university campuses in California)

The University of California at Berkeley has had a Group Major in Religious Studies since 1970, but there is no core faculty for the program. Efforts on the part of distinguished Berkeley faculty members over the years to cre ate a viable department have met with no success. Now (in 1999), as a resul t of actions taken by the administration, the group major is in serious jeo pardy.
