summary

The ASUC formally requests the UC Regents to implement California Assembly Bill 2883, authorizing the University of California to observe Lunar New Year as a holiday. This action is vital for recognizing the cultural significance of Lunar New Year and the substantial contributions of Asian students, who constitute a significant portion of the UC Berkeley student body. The resolution directs the External Affairs Vice President-Elect to prioritize this implementation within 2026-27 UCSA Campaign Priorities and to share the resolution with the Regents.
