What with the $50 million in university mass orders for the Macintosh,
and the imminent introduction of non-Apple hard disks for it,
why wouldn't Berkeley do the 4.2 BSD port itself ?
Then again, does Berkeley have the resources for much UNIX work these days ?
MIT ported the "portable C compiler" to the 68000, and did other 68000 software
(often as Master's Projects and the like); maybe they're a reasonable choice.
I don't know if either school is among the institutions
handing big bags of money to Apple for Macs.

At present, MIT is not handing "big
bags of money" to Apple to buy their
MacIntosh. They just received a *pile*
of equipment from HP (yay!) for use in
one of their undergraduate courses, and
it appears that for now they won't be
needing any more.
