Developer seeks changes to Bretton Woods pact By Anne Ternus-Bellamy Enterprise staff writer
UC Davis has also earned praise in other recent rankings. Earlier this month, the campus was ranked the sixth best School for Making an Impact in the Princeton Reviewâs The Best 388 Colleges 2023 Edition. In those rankings, UC Davis also
Developer David Taormino is seeking more changes to the development agreement for Bretton Woods, a senior-living community in West Davis approved by voters in 2018. Ground was broken on the project, located north of Covell Boulevard and west of Sutter Davis Hospital, earlier this summer. Back in the summer of 2020, Taormino sought to remove the Davisbased buyers program from the agreement. That program promised that 90 percent of home sales in the 560-unit development would be reserved for buyers with a Davis connection. The program is not an enforceable obligation in the development agreement, according to the city attorney; rather the development agreement specifies that Taormino has elected to prioritize local buyers this way and the city does not have approval authority. But it was perhaps the most heavily emphasized component of the campaign in favor of what was Measure L, and a number of city residents have said they voted in favor of the project because of it.

UCD ranked No. 2 public university By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer UC Davis was ranked the second-best public university in the country in the Washington Monthly 2022 College Guide and Rankings, which were released Sunday. The campus came in 11th among all universities. The rankings evaluated colleges on their strengths in three
equally weighted categories: social mobility, research, and community and national service. âThis means that top-ranked colleges needed to be excellent across the full breadth of our measures, rather than excelling in just one,â the Washington Monthly editors wrote in an explanation of the methodology.
Among public universities, UC Davis scored better than every other college in the country except UC Berkeley, which earned the No. 1 spot. The rankings analyzed a total of 1,507 four-year colleges. In an introduction to the rankings, Washington Monthly credited the University of California and California State University Systems for having
many campuses âin the upper echelonsâ of its rankings.
Davis leaders condemn hate incident By Caleb Hampton Enterprise staff writer At least twice over the past two weekends, masked men displayed antisemitic banners from a highway overpass in Davis. âThe Holocaust is an anti-white lie,â one of the banners said, according to a video provided to The Enterprise by a community member. âToday, four white men wearing black clothing and masks displayed a banner over the Highway 113 bicycle overpass that contained racist antisemitic statements,â UC Davis Chancellor Gary S.
