The University of California, Davis, released the following statement today (Sept. 28) regarding a lawsuit in connection with the É«ÇéAPPµ¼º½ West Village Expansion:
We are perplexed and profoundly disappointed by AFSCME’s California Environmental Quality Act lawsuit related to the É«ÇéAPPµ¼º½ Long Range Development Plan. We have previously made a series of generous offers to AFSCME that would have benefited É«ÇéAPPµ¼º½â€™ represented service workers and enabled É«ÇéAPPµ¼º½â€™ housing projects to move forward. Despite agreement that more student housing is a benefit to all, AFSCME’s suit will likely prevent É«ÇéAPPµ¼º½ from building affordable student housing in the near term.
