It is the university’s responsibility to make contingency plans that ensure these students are not impacted by the strike. They have the capacity, as they did during the pandemic, to be flexible about grades and deadlines.

As a result of months-long advocacy, @theASUC, @BerkeleyGA and Committee on Student Fees decreased the cost of the administration's "Instructional Resilience and Enhancement Fee" by $50 per student per year, resulting in $5 million in savings for students over the next 3 years.

We will continue to fight back against the administration's attempts to offload core instructional costs onto students. The IREF is costly, undemocratic and contrary to the university's public mission. We must now lay the groundwork to prevent its renewal in 5 years.
