This resolution urges the Campuswide Advisory Committee on Student Services and Fees (CACSSF) to recommend permanent $705,000 funding for the Berkeley International Office (BIO). This funding is essential to retain legal and immigration advising capacity and enhance communication for UC Berkeley's 10,864 international students amidst rapidly changing federal policies. The ASUC President is directed to advocate for this at the CACSSF Meeting on November 17th, 2025, to ensure sustainable mandated services.

Fiscal Impact $705,000 annual starting July 1, 2026
