The University of California at Berkeley will have a new faculty for the first time in 50 years. 

University of California regents voted Thursday to establish the School of Computing, Data Science and Society to teach computing, data science and statistics to help solve some of society's problems. 

The establishment of the new faculty follows the creation of the Goldman School of Public Policy.
