The page lists five staff, all with Berkeley addresses: Edwin Vargas Navarro, Eric Van Dusen, John DeNero, Sean Morris and Shane Knapp.
Cal-ICOR calls itself “statewide educational infrastructure”, “not as a short-term project”.

“a statewide effort to expand high-quality, accessible data science education across the University of California, California State University, and California Community College systems.”
“Led by UC Berkeley and supported by the California Education Learning Lab”.
UC Berkeley is the “Lead institution providing curriculum development, infrastructure expertise, and statewide coordination.”
Learning Lab is “Supporting the initiative’s development, research, and cross-segment collaboration.”
Goal: integrate data science “without requiring specialized technical staff or costly IT investments.”
Cal-ICOR “strengthens pathways into data science for tens of thousands of students”.

The program’s own page. It lists staff by name and email, with no titles.

No titles, full-time counts, budget or funding amount.
“tens of thousands of students” is not a count. The homepage counts 4,369 students all time (Cal-ICOR homepage).
