We are so excited for Biden’s new plan to expand the Pell Grant! Now Congress must decide if they support college affordability as well!! #DoublePell

BIG NEWS!!!
#SCA5 passed out of Senate Floor! Thanks #CASenate for giving students a #SecondStudentVote on @UofCalifornia Regents board. S/O to our bill author @Steve_Glazer & Senate co-authors @NancySkinnerCA, @rosilicie, @SenatorUmberg, & @CASenCaballero. Next step, Assembly!

Congress has a duty to students and the youth of this nation to guarantee access to higher ed. Putting power back into the Pell Grant is the answer! We implore President Biden to #KeepPellIn his plan to ensure affordability for all students! @POTUS #DoublePell #PowertothePell

In 2021, nobody should worry about access to menstrual products when it affects half the population. Yet too many UC students still see this basic need unmet. Signing AB 367 is crucial for equity and healthcare on our campuses! @GavinNewsom

[ASUC AAVP @ASUCAAVP]

This weekend, @_UCSA passed a resolution coauthored by @ASUCAAVP and @ASUCEAVP deploring the unsafe reopening plans at UC campuses. On behalf of 280,000 UC students, we call on UC campuses to implement effective safety measures and academic accommodations to protect UC students.

[UC Student Association @_UCSA]

Nearly 3 million students of the @UofCalifornia, @calstate, and @CalCommColleges are asking Congress to #DoublePell using the reconciliation process. The Time to Invest in #PellGrant is now!

[UC Student Association @_UCSA]

Only $500?!! We were promised #DoublePell and now we’re being fed table crumbs. @JoeBiden @SpeakerPelosi @RepDeSaulnier @RepMarkTakano you should know students are not happy, and if that’s all the House is willing to give to #PellGrant, you have failed students. #500isTableCrumbs

What if we registered for the @_UCSA Student Organizing Summit and voted on UCSA’s priorities for the coming year to make a UC education more inclusive and affordable 🥺😳🙈 https://t.co/1K7Fx52VrH

“Get ready for whiplash… the University of California now wants to raise tuition on each incoming undergraduate class. Every year. Indefinitely.” Check out @CalMatters’s coverage of the proposed forever tuition increase at the UC. #StopTheForeverHike

[Daily Cal Opinion @dailycalopinion]

"On July 22, the regents will be voting on a new kind of tuition package: the cohort-based tuition model," writes @ASUCEAVP. "But this package of five-year tuition increases is worse than a one-time tuition hike."

This week the Office of Civil Rights is holding a hearing on Title IX policy. The EAVP gave public comment on behalf of Berkeley students pushing the Dept. of Education to reverse Devos’ egregious changes to sexual harassment guidelines and expand restorative justice approaches.
