The ASUC formally requests the UC Regents to implement California Assembly Bill 2883, enabling the University of California to observe Lunar New Year as a holiday. This action is crucial for recognizing the cultural significance of Lunar New Year for a large population of Asian American and Asian International students, allowing them to celebrate without academic conflict. The resolution directs the External Affairs Vice President-Elect to prioritize this implementation within 2026-27 UCSA Campaign Priorities and share it with the Regents, noting no additional financial burden.
