Expressing support for the recognition of September 25, 2023, to October 1, 2023, as "Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Week".

HRES 736 is a House resolution designating September 25-October 1, 2023, as "Asian American and Native American Pacific Islander-Serving Institutions Week" to recognize institutions that serve high proportions of Asian American, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander students. These institutions - enrolling over 46% of such students despite representing only 6.5% of U.S. colleges - provide critical support for low-income, first-generation students through culturally relevant programs. The resolution encourages eligible institutions to seek funding and urges the public to observe the week with activities celebrating their educational contributions. It has no legal effect but serves as a symbolic acknowledgment of their role in higher education.
