You sell an asset that you have held for more than one year to Berkeley for less than the fair market value; therefore your transaction is part gift, part sale.
Generally, Berkeley will sell the property and use the proceeds to support campus programs you specify.
How You Benefit

Capital Gains Tax Benefit
Receive an income tax charitable deduction for the full fair market value of the portion of the property you gift to Berkeley.
