Do you support the continued funding of $1.69, (of the $1.69 collected, $1.18 goes to the program, $0.01 is for the AS fee, $0.08 is for the administrative assessment, and $0.42 is for Return to Aid) per undergraduate student per quarter (fall, winter, spring) for The Bottom Line (TBL)?
Pro Statements
The Bottom Line (TBL) Newspaper is a student-run, student-funded newspaper at UCSB. Since 2006, we have continued to report on a range of topics and events relevant to the UCSB community. From news coverage of the continued housing crisis to popular student events and club features, TBL seeks to uplift student voices through a range of sections including News, Features, Arts & Entertainment, Science & Technology, Opinions, Art & Illustrations, Photography, and more! As a university without a dedicated journalism department, TBL provides a unique experiential education opportunity to students who would otherwise not have access to learning in the field. All general meetings are open to students to contribute to any section of interest. In doing so, TBL has fostered a learning environment for all students, regardless of experience, to engage in community-based reporting as well as personal and professional growth.
Affirming the TBL lock-in fee allows for the organization to continue its mission of ethical and independent journalism, facilitated by a student body. It ensures the provision of journalistic opportunities to students of a wide range of interests and experiences, and TBL will continue to foster the community it has created for more years to come.
