BERKELEY -- Major universities such as UC Berkeley should eliminate athletic scholarships or risk losing their academic luster, consumer advocate Ralph Nader told a standing-room-only crowd Tuesday.
Nader's remarks were at a public event associated with a UC Berkeley class on how an athletics program affects a university. The course is co-taught by Nader's sister, UC Berkeley anthropology professor Laura Nader.
