Coastal Fund Fee Increase

Coastal Fund connects UCSB students to our local coastal environment by funding paid internships and programs in a variety of disciplines, including education, scientific research, legal advocacy, ecosystem restoration, and art. In addition, Coastal Fund ensures that beaches and trails are accessible to people with a wide range of experiences and abilities. Many established campus programs, such as the campus lagoon restoration and snowy plover protection programs, receive funding from Coastal Fund and would not otherwise have support for paid student positions. Coastal Fund also supports community service opportunities for student groups by connecting them to organizations in need of volunteers or providing beach cleanup supplies. . This fee increase will allow the all-student board to fill this unmet need and provide . This fee also supports our mission to fund campus and community initiatives that celebrate, explore, and protect the coastal ecosystems of UC Santa Barbara.

Do you approve a fee increase of $2.97 per undergraduate per quarter (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer) for AS Coastal Fund, from $4.56  to $7.53 ? Of the $2.97 collected, $0.74 is for a 25% return to aid, $0.14 is for a 7% administrative assessment collected by the campus on all non-capital expenditures, $0.02 is for the 1% AS recharge fee, and $2.07 will go to the AS Coastal Fund. If passed, the fee increase would begin Fall 2023 and the entire fee would be subject to reaffirmation every two years thereafter as mandated by the AS Constitution and subject to a COLA increase every five years.

This proposed $2.97 fee increase of the $4.56  already collected with Associated Students, totaling $7.53, is in addition to the $3.00 collected through the Campus Election Commission.

EOP Fee Increase

The AS/EOP Grant program supports students by reimbursing unusual and or unforeseen educationally-related and emergency expenses incurred by all enrolled EOP students (roughly 35-40% of the undergraduate student population). AS/EOP grants are available to EOP students eligible to receive need-based financial aid through the UCSB Office of Financial Aid in accordance with nationally approved need analysis standards and UCSB deadlines and awarding procedures. The proposed fee increase will allow us to meet the needs of students in all the areas currently supported by the existing AS/EOP Grant program. Currently, the fund is insufficient to meet the needs of students (over 270 students receive the grant annually) as it is typically exhausted well before the end of the academic year thus creating additional hardship for our most vulnerable students. Examples of such qualifying expenses funded from the existing fee include (this is not an exhaustive list):

Medical, dental or optical expenses not covered by Student Health or private insurance.

A financial emergency as a result of receiving an eviction notice or other unusual and/or extenuating circumstances when rental costs have exceeded the financial aid allowances for any given quarter.

Grants for textbooks and/or supplies (including laptops) related to the student’s attendance at UCSB in the event of lost, damaged or stolen items.

An annual report on grant disbursements will be provided to the Associated Students and is overseen by the EOP Director, the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and the AS Executive Director.

^{Do you approve a fee increase of $1.80 per undergraduate per quarter ($1.67 for summer) for EOP emergency grants, from $1.25 to $3.05 (from $0.83 to $2.50 for summer)? Of the $1.80 collected, $0.45 is for a 25% return to aid, $0.09 is for a 7% administrative assessment collected by the campus on all non-capital expenditures, $0.01 is for the 1% AS recharge fee and $1.25 will go to the EOP. If passed, the fee increase would begin Fall 2023 and the entire fee (the base fee and the fee increase) would be subject to reaffirmation every two years thereafter as mandated by the AS Constitution.}

Food Bank Fee Increase

The Associated Students Food Bank (ASFB) provides food for any undergraduate and

graduate student. In the 2021-2022 school year, the ASFB had 5,247 registered graduate

and undergraduate students. In the same year, it distributed 179,651 pounds of food. The

ASFB has several programs in addition to its food pantry services including operating a

food vending machine, facilitating pre-made bags for students that keep kosher and

halal, a seed bank for students to grow their own food, and offering diapers and formula

for students with dependents. The ASFB and the Associated Students Food Bank

Committee are looking to increase the ability of the food bank to distribute more food

and increase the impact of its programs across campus by increasing the lock-in fee.

This fee will provide approximately about 300,000 lbs of food that will be distributed to

UCSB undergraduate and graduate students and decrease food insecurity. It will give

the ASFB more support to meet the demand for its food pantry services and other food

programs.

Additionally, if approved, this fee, including the $7.88 increase, will be subject to a Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) adjustment every five years (COLA is calculated every five years based on the 5-year average consumer price index). The next scheduled adjustment is in 2028 and would continue every five years thereafter.

Do you approve a fee increase of $7.88 per undergraduate per quarter, including summer, for AS Food Bank, from 4.96 to $12.84?  Of the $7.88 collected, $1.97 is for a 25% return to aid, $0.38 is for a 7% administrative assessment collected by the campus on all non-capital expenditures, $0.05 is for the 1% AS recharge fee and $5.48 will go to the AS Food Bank. If passed, the fee would begin Fall 2023 and be subject to reaffirmation every two years thereafter as mandated by the AS Constitution and be subject to a COLA increase every five years starting in 2028.

KCSB Fee Increase

This fee will support student wages and repairs and improvements to facilities which will allow for improved operations of KCSB-FM in its mission to broadcast educational, non-commercial, independent radio to the UCSB student body and surrounding Santa Barbara County area. KCSB is student-run radio, and student leaders provide broadcast training to other students and community volunteers as they create their own FM radio shows, and learn the fundamentals of independent media and community service.

^{Do you approve a fee increase of $3.09 per undergraduate per quarter ($2.88 for summer) to support operations of KCSB-FM, from $3.40 to $6.49 (from $3.00 to $5.88 for summer)?  Of the $3.09 collected, $0.77 is for a 25% return to aid, $0.15 is for a 7% administrative assessment collected by the campus on all non-capital expenditures, $0.02 is for the 1% AS recharge fee, and $2.15 will go to KCSB-FM. If passed, the fee increase will begin Fall 2023, and the entire fee will be subject to reaffirmation every two years thereafter as mandated by the AS Constitution. Additionally, if approved, the entire KCSB fee per undergraduate per quarter (including summer) will be placed on the same Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) schedule as the other Associated Students Initiative fees passed in 2006 (COLA is calculated every five years based on the 5-year average consumer price index). The next scheduled adjustment is in 2028 and would continue every 5 years thereafter.}
