 In the week of April 8th, Berkeley students voted on and passed the Transfer Remedy Act, along with the general ASUC elections. The Transfer Act, named as Necessary Standards for Equitable Representation, addresses how the ASUC Senate and executive bodies are consistently composed of zero or one elected students who are transfers. Transfer students currently make up approximately 30% of the incoming class. The purpose of the act was to create a transfer representative in order to ensure that the transfer student narrative is present in student government. The referendum is said to be critical to improve the transfer GBO experience and increase transfer access to campus resources, given that transfer students are 15% less likely to graduate on time. 11 senators had voted in favor of placing the referendum on the ballot, only one more than the necessary 10 votes needed to secure its place. Senators who voted against the resolution had mainly cited ambiguities in the referendum's language as their primary reasoning. Now having been passed, the act will attempt to combat institutional barriers to the ASUC for transfer students.
