You have no evidence to the contrary.
I didn't make the claim.
Do you have any evidence to back up your opinion, or not?
There are 38,000 students at UC Berkeley. How many were involved in any violent acts? How many threatened any violent acts?
I think you're full of mud.
It seems as though its a school happy to cater to professors who teach and instruct people in extreme ideologies which have resulted in violence and threats of violence.

Deep sea diving - Joel Henry Hildebrand used helium with oxygen to mitigate decompression sickness.
Cyclotron - Ernest O. Lawrence created a particle accelerator in 1934. 16 elements have been discovered at Berkeley (astatine, neptunium, plutonium, curium, americium, berkelium, californium, einsteinium, fermium, mendelevium, nobelium, lawrencium, dubnium, seaborgium, technetium, and molybdenum).[31][32]
Flu vaccine - Wendell M. Stanley and collegus discovered the vaccine in the 1940s.
Atomic bomb - J. Robert Oppenheimer professor of physics at UC Berkeley was the wartime director of Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Manhattan Project.
Hydrogen bomb - Edward Teller, the father of hydrogen bomb, was a professor at Berkeley and a researcher at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory & Los Alamos National Laboratory.
Wetsuit - Hugh Bradner invents first wetsuit 1952. Molecular clock - Allan Wilson discovery in 1967.
Oncogene - Peter Duesberg discovers first cancer causing gene in a virus 1970's.
SPICE - Donald O. Pederson develops the Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis (SPICE) 1972.
Carcinogens - Identified chemicals that damage DNA. The Ames test was described in a series of papers in 1973 by Bruce Ames and his group at the University. Project Genie -
DARPA funded project. It produced an early time-sharing system including the Berkeley Timesharing System, which was then commercialized as the SDS 940. Concepts from Project Genie influenced the development of the TENEX operating system for the PDP-10, and Unix, which inherited the concept of process forking from it.[108]
Unix co-creator Ken Thompson worked on an Project Genie while at Berkeley. Berkeley UNIX/Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) - The Computer Systems Research Group was a research group at Berkeley that was dedicated to enhancing AT&T Unix operating system and funded by Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. Bill Joy modified the code and released it in 1977 under the open source BSD license, starting an open-source revolution.

Keck Telescope - Jerry Nelson helped build one of the worlds largest telescopes in 1992.
Immunotherapy of cancer - James P. Allison discovers and develops monoclonal antibody therapy that uses the immune system to combat cancer 1992-1995.

I would imagine that it is actually significantly under that. I didn't do a detailed analysis, but I did note that some of that federal funding is directly to non-student, non-teaching, applications.

Berkeley has always been a very weird place, its like a magnet for extremest thoughts and ideals of the very far left. I think they cultivate this with the professors they hire and the students they select to attend. They think it is smart, I just think it is a form of immaturity.

ann, don't let the door his you on your skinny ass on the way out...c'mon, she did this to get attention from your kind so she can sell more books, and book more vulgar speeches...she knows her audience and she knows how to make a buck off of the slopped-headed

Oh for heaven's sake.
1) no platforming somebody is not impinging their freedom of speech. It's just saying to them hey look, we don't want to hear your hate speech round here.
2) Coulter knew exactly what she was doing by booking this appointment and then pulling out of it. That's precisely what she wanted, because she wanted to stir up this outrage amongst her followers.

Sadly, that virus of willful ignorance seems to be growing around ATS.
