The ASUC expresses strong support for H.R. 7810, the "Lowering Student Loans Act," which aims to set federal student loan interest rates at 2 percent. This resolution is crucial for UC Berkeley students as it seeks to reduce long-term repayment burdens and promote equitable access to higher education by making federal student loans more affordable. It calls upon California’s congressional delegation and the UC Office of Federal Government Relations to advance the bill's passage.
