Berkeley admits 7,000 students to 800 capacity class
In an email story from hell, the university of California in Berkeley has accidentally send out an email to all 7,000 students that registered for the school's law school. But the school can only accommodate 800 to 850 students a year.
It turns out that the school's director of admissions Edward Tom goofed up when he was training a new staff member, showing how to send an email to a large group of recipients as well as other features of the schools' mass email system. One thing lead to the other, and before he knew it, he had selected the acceptance letter.
“I’ve never had a glitch with that expert in six years of training new staff members,” Tom told Computerworld. “It takes a bumbling fool like me."
Berkeley's law school hides behind trees in shame.
