BERKELEY, Calif.—An electrical engineering and computer sciences Ph.D. candidate at the University of California–Berkeley is facing felony charges accusing him of intentionally damaging electronic equipment at Cory Hall over a period of two years, causing an estimated $46,855 in direct damage, according to the University of California Police Department.
A professor reported that the student had vandalized another student’s personal computer as well as computer equipment belonging to the university, causing at least $2,119 in damage, the department said in an emailed statement to The Epoch Times. The total damage was likely far more than that, according to the statement.
