summary

The ASUC unequivocally reaffirms its full support for AB 540, an essential and legally sound mechanism ensuring equitable access to public higher education for eligible students across California. This resolution formally condemns the April 28, 2025 federal executive order and subsequent U.S. Department of Justice lawsuit seeking to invalidate AB 540. It urges UC Berkeley and statewide university leadership to publicly affirm support for AB 540 and integrate accurate information into student materials, while committing the ASUC to continued advocacy and solidarity with undocumented and AB 540 students.
