UC Merced Groundbreaking Delayed
Sponsored by:
The groundbreaking ceremony for the new University of California campus at Merced has been delayed. Officials will have the ceremony in September instead of May partly because of a lawsuit filed by some environmental groups. The groups say the new campus will cause irreparable harm to the environment and have filed a lawsuit to stop construction. University officials say the delay won´t affect the campus´ opening date in 2004.
