This resolution expresses congressional support for designating September 22-28, 2025, as "Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Week." The measure recognizes colleges and universities where at least 10 percent of undergraduate students are Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander students. According to the resolution, these institutions are vital to higher education, currently numbering 208 eligible schools across the United States and its territories, with 69 receiving federal funding. Despite representing only 7.1 percent of all colleges and universities, these institutions enroll 46 percent of all Asian American and Pacific Islander undergraduate students and award over half of associate's degrees and 44 percent of bachelor's degrees earned by this demographic. The resolution calls on the American public to recognize these institutions' contributions during the designated week through appropriate activities and programs, particularly highlighting their role in serving first-generation and low-income students.
