"Berkeley's Chancellor has said that labs will be open with restrictions, but most likely lectures will not."
So when I say "classes will be closed," I mean that labs will not be open.

She means the more standard definition of "places where there is equipment for students and professors to use for research".
She is saying that campus labs (rooms with special equipment for research) will most likely be open in the fall with extra precautions, and that classes may be remote only or they may offer both remote and in person options, but they haven't decided yet.
But she's pretty adamant that students and professors will have access to their equipment for research.
So no, campus will not be closed. Classes may be closed, which I said initially.
I'm not sure why you're arguing with me. We said the same thing. You just said it in a different way, and I'm not sure why.
The UC President has said that they expect a hybrid mode of instruction, but it's not clear whether there will be in person classes. It seems like each school themselves have a say in the decision.
> Napolitano indicated that each UC campus would be required to “meet system-wide thresholds” for Covid-19 testing, contact tracing and isolation before being allowed to open.
> Once the standards are met, campuses “can consider whether to maintain fully remote instruction in the fall or return some portion of their students to campus.”
> A decision is expected in the middle of June. [2]
A Berkeley CS professor also posted that he thinks the fall term will (and should) be online-only: https://www.reddit.com/r/berkeley/comments/g9vxb0/why_i_thin...
