Ensuring Student Expression and Public Health in Response to UC Masking Policy

This resolution formally opposes UC Berkeley's restrictions on masking at protests, specifically section 211 of the Campus Regulations, and affirms the right to peacefully protest with a mask on. It also urges the right of masking at all events, including ASUC-sponsored events, to safeguard students' public safety and health. The resolution calls upon the UC Administration and campus leaders to reconsider the masking policy to protect First Amendment rights and support vulnerable populations.
