Cal cancels basketball game tonight and classes tomorrow. Football game Saturday in doubt.
In a statement late Wednesday, Cal Chancellor Carol Christ said that if the AQI on campus surpasses 200, game cancellations are considered.
At 4 p.m. Thursday, the AQI in Berkeley was 232, which led to the cancellation of Thursday night’s men’s basketball game against Detroit Mercy at Haas Pavilion. Late Thursday, the university also announced the cancellation of all classes Friday. Thursday’s planned on-campus, public unveiling of a plaque honoring Joe Kapp was also called off.
In San Francisco, USF said that Friday night’s men’s home basketball game against Arizona State has been postponed. Athletic director Scott Sidwell said he and counterpart Ray Anderson of ASU were working on trying to find a replacement date that works for both teams.
In her statement, Christ said, “The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is forecasting a significant improvement in air quality beginning on Friday morning, with continued clearing throughout the weekend. We will continue to closely monitor reliable readings and forecasts and will keep the campus community updated.”
