🌊 AB 2374 is officially California law!

The Pacific Islanders for Progress Coalition is proud to celebrate Governor Gavin Newsom signing AB 2374 (Fong), establishing California’s new designation recognizing colleges and universities committed to serving Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students.

Throughout the legislative process, our coalition advocated for stronger visibility of NHPI students. We are proud that the final law includes provisions for institutions to separately report Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander outcomes, to the extent possible, across specified student success measures in both initial and renewal applications.

This matters because our students cannot continue to disappear within aggregated data. If we want more Pacific Islanders to persist, transfer, and complete their college journeys, institutions must be able to see how our students are doing and demonstrate their commitment to supporting their success.

We thank Assemblymember Mike Fong, the California Commission on Asian and Pacific Islander American Affairs, and the many advocates and partners who helped move AB 2374 across the finish line.

Our students deserve to be seen. Our students deserve to be supported. And our students deserve every opportunity to succeed. #PacificIslanderEducationalEquity by @nhpiec

Next week! 🌊 Join us at the @edtrustwest Education Equity Forum for “Moving the Needle for Pacific Islanders: A Talanoa with Pasifika Leaders”

Excited to have coalition partners Roy Tongilava, Karel Lokeni, and Francine Blacksher talanoa about what it will take to meaningfully improve educational opportunities and outcomes for Pacific Islander students across California.

They’ll talanoa about the work already happening in our communities, the challenges our students continue to face, and how we can build stronger, more coordinated systems of support from TK-12 through higher education.

If you’ll be at the Forum, come join us for this important conversation. We’d love to see you there! by @nhpiec
