The Asian American and Pacific Islander Standing Committee (AAPISC) of UC Berkeley has issued a new report, “Twenty Years Later: Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders at UC Berkeley,” which provides a demographic overview and assessment of AAPI community needs on campus, as well as possible strategies to address identified issues of concern to date for AAPI undergraduate and graduate students, staff, and faculty. AAPISC is co-chaired by Lisa Hirai Tsuchitani, faculty affliate of ISSI's Asian American Research Center and a former ISSI Graduate Fellow. A major finding of the report is that the challenges facing AAPI communities at UC Berkeley have not significantly changed over the past 20 years.
