I don't see how it is useful.

a) The first instance of Berklee shows the full name, which isn't "University of California, Berk(lee|eley)".

b) It consistently says Berklee in the article, never Berkeley, so there's no confusion caused by inconsistency.

c) Your comment implies that the author is an idiot who can't even spell the name of the college he attended; which is impolite at best.

It's OK. It's a common confusion.

My senior year (at Berklee) the company that prints up our report cards sent them to Berkeley California.

Kind of an ongoing joke. ("Where did you go to school?" - "Berklee" - "Oh wow, that's really prestigious!" - "... College of Music." ".... oh.")
