summary

This resolution expresses the ASUC's strong support for H.R. 6718, the Professional Student Degree Act, which aims to expand the federal definition of professional degree programs and protect graduate and professional students' access to federal student loans. It also endorses the UC Advocacy Network's efforts to oppose federal loan caps, which are critical for maintaining the affordability and accessibility of public higher education and preventing workforce shortages. The ASUC External Affairs Vice President is encouraged to incorporate these positions into federal advocacy.
