In Defense of AB540, Affirming its Legality, and Standing in Solidarity with Undocumented and AB540 Students at UC Berkeley and Across California

This resolution directs the ASUC to unequivocally reaffirm its support for AB 540 and condemn the federal executive order and lawsuit challenging its legality. It matters to students because AB 540 is crucial for ensuring equitable access to public higher education for undocumented and AB 540-eligible students by allowing them to pay in-state tuition. The resolution also urges UC Berkeley and other state university systems to publicly affirm their support and provide clear information to students about AB 540's ongoing validity.
