Given that most courses are taught by Assistant Professors and Grad Students

Not sure where you got this from.

(1) It’s “some” courses, not “most.”

(2) At UCB, course instructors have to be professors. The only exception is for summer classes that can be taught by GSIs.

Its taught by two professors during Spring and two Associate/Assistant professors during Fall (Course: CS 289A | EECS at UC Berkeley).

Note that associate professors and assistant professors ARE professors. They all are PhD holders with some post doc.

Graduate Students are usually the Teaching Assistants (TAs).

That’s everywhere.

In fact, some courses at both universities even hire undergrad students as Teaching Assistants.

That’s everywhere too.
