Strengthen Transfer Representation on Necessary Grounds (S.T.R.O.N.G.) Act: Fostering Equity, Opportunity & Representation in the ASUC

This resolution seeks to amend the ASUC Constitution to reclassify the Transfer Student Representative as an Executive Officer, effective for the 2026-2027 academic year, subject to a student referendum. This change is crucial for transfer students as it would provide their representative with greater authority and resources to advocate for their unique needs, address historical underrepresentation, and ensure their voices are adequately heard within the ASUC and campus administration. The bill also highlights the current budget disparity for the Transfer Student Representative compared to other UC campuses.
