summary

This resolution encourages the University of California Student Association (UCSA) to initiate a new campaign, the Student Help & International Education Legal Defense (SHIELD) Fund, to advocate for a state budget-funded legal defense fund for international students. This fund would address the critical need for legal counsel for international students facing challenges such as visa revocations without prior notice, ensuring their safety, security, and educational continuity. The ASUC also endorses UCSA's ongoing efforts to support immigrant and international student resources.
