On the waterfront seven miles from UC Berkeley, the university owns what is now an isolated and somewhat ramshackle collection of storage facilities and labs. But Berkeley's chancellor envisions it as a future showcase for international education.
The 130-acre property between Interstate 580 and the San Francisco Bay houses, among other things, earthquake research, little-used library books and museum artifacts, an art studio and a lab to test roadway concrete.

The number of foreign students in a country or university cannot be used as an indication of the quality or standards of education, DAP lawmaker Dr Ong Kian Ming said today, refuting a claim by a minister that Malaysia's world-class education was validated by the high number of foreign students here.
