This resolution expresses congressional support for designating September 27-October 3, 2026, as "Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Week." The resolution recognizes colleges and universities that serve significant populations of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students, marking the 19th anniversary of when Congress first formally recognized and funded these institutions in 2007. According to the resolution, approximately 194 colleges and universities currently qualify as Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-serving institutions, which make up only 7.2 percent of all higher education institutions yet enroll nearly 46 percent of all Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander undergraduate students nationwide. The resolution calls on these institutions to obtain funding and develop programs addressing the specific needs of their students and communities. This is a symbolic measure with no direct funding or enforcement mechanisms; it simply encourages national recognition and celebration of these institutions' contributions to higher education.
