I see a comma here?
I would be surprised if UCSC formatted their name differently from the other UC campuses, which follow the "University of California, [Place]" format.

I'm an alumnus and local, though specifically remember this from decades ago. It is entirely possible this got changed in 40+ years and the comma is truly present. If all other campuses include a comma, that is hefty support UCSC should, too.
Though, your link points to the mailing address, not the official name. I do recall learning quite specifically "there is no comma" but that was in the '80s.
Can we find a more official source online? Or, I can call the switchboard tomorrow morning and ask. Shouldn't be too hard to find out for sure, but there remains some question in my mind.

Putting the comma back, you are correct. I found https://policy.ucop.edu/_files/da/2-26-99name.html which says there were changes in the late '50s and '60s and a clarification in 1999 that says all campuses use the comma.

Thanks oba510, been to Berkeley many times, you do great work in OSM. I recall Y2K and how in 1999 people (especially software and data-oriented people) were dotting Is and crossing Ts. UCSC having a comma seems to have slipped right passed me as the Regents published that letter via UCOP. Good catch!
