I recently got a Facebook ad for a UC Berkeley coding boot camp that was explicitly targeting males 22-34. Fortunately Facebook gives you details on why you’re targeted for an ad.

In that case, this isn't a job offer, nothing illegal.

It would be illegal if it were UC Berkeley doing it for marketing their regular degree program, however:

But, I believe this is a UC extension thing, which I don't think is eligible for federal financial aid, so this rule does not apply.
