summary

This resolution directs the ASUC to formally support the Congressional Review Act (CRA) on the DHS Student Visa Rule, which aims to overturn a federal regulation imposing fixed stay limits and academic mobility restrictions on international students. It mandates the ASUC External Affairs Vice President (EAVP) to spearhead communication with California Congressional delegates for co-sponsorship and lead a community-wide initiative to raise awareness and encourage advocacy. This action is crucial for protecting the academic freedom and residency status of UC Berkeley's international student population.
