Questions about the difference of the terms ‘Cal’ and ‘California’ in terms of where they did their PhDs

America

Post Body

Hello, I looked over my possible PI list of my university and the department head gave me a list of research stream professors and I could see where those profs did their PhDs. There were bunch of ‘Cal’s and ‘California’s, and I see people refer Berkeley to Cal quite often. Does this mean the professors who wrote the info (California) got PhDs at Berkeley? There are lots of UCs in California and Idk about the terms so can anyone explain the general usage and difference between these two used in academia?
