summary

This resolution expresses the ASUC's strong support for Assembly Constitutional Amendment No. 18 (ACA 18), which seeks to amend the California Constitution to mandate two student members on the UC Board of Regents. This expansion of student representation is vital for ensuring student voices are more fully heard on critical issues like tuition, housing, and campus safety. The ASUC commits to advocating for ACA 18's passage through the California State Legislature and before California voters.

The speaker urged the ASUC Senate to pass SR 25/26-096 in support of ACA 10. They emphasized that while graduate students deserve representation, undergraduates make up roughly 230,000 of the 300,000 UC students and need their perspectives represented on the UC Board of Regents.
