This Senate resolution designates September 27-October 3, 2026, as "Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Week" to recognize colleges and universities that serve these student populations. The resolution marks the 19th anniversary of Congress formally authorizing these institutions in 2007, which are defined as degree-granting colleges with at least 10 percent Asian American, Native Hawaiian, or Pacific Islander enrollment. According to the resolution, approximately 194 such institutions currently exist and enroll 45.5 percent of all Asian American and Pacific Islander undergraduate students nationwide despite representing only 7.2 percent of all higher education institutions. The resolution does not provide any funding but encourages these institutions to obtain resources and establish programs to meet students' needs, and calls on Americans to observe the week with appropriate activities and ceremonies to support these institutions.
