For me, it would depend on how formal the source was. I wouldn't bat an eye in a blog posting, but in something like the NY Times, I'd think "there's one the editor missed!". But being from Boston, I know there's a Berkeley Conservatory there to be confused with the better-known UC Berkeley. If I saw "Mr Johnson has a degree... from UC Berkeley" I wouldn't bat an eye either.
But then I've been grading essays recently, so maybe my prose-meter is set a bit too far over to "formal"...
