Terrible decision. The Berkeley EECS department is already cash strapped while serving an ever growing CS student body. This probably will lead to massive decreases in class sizes, as it is not worth it to appoint 8h TAs (incredibly common in CS classes across the board). As a result, the CS GPA cap to declare will probably go up to 3.5 or even 3.7, and CS education will be denied to many students. Speaking from personal experience, as an 8 hour TA for 3 semesters, I think the current wage ($30 an hour) is more than fair. Usually 8 hour TAs just hold a 1 hour weekly discussion and OH session, along with some grading -- tuition remission sounds a bit excessive.
