• Arts & Lectures

  Do you support the continued funding of $3.65, (of the $3.65 collected, $2.74 goes to the program and $0.91 is for Return to Aid) per ASUCSB membership per quarter including for summer quarter for Arts & Lectures?

  
  

  Pro Statements

  Each year, UCSB Arts & Lectures (A&L) presents over 100 films, lectures, performances, and events featuring renowned musicians, dancers, theater artists, and thought leaders from around the world. Notable figures include His Holiness the XIV Dalai Lama, Amanda Gorman, Yo-Yo Ma, Herbie Hancock, Wynton Marsalis, RuPaul, José Andrés, and Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater, among many others. These events not only provide the UCSB student body with unique cultural experiences but also support classroom learning, with many students attending as part of their course requirements. Many of the artists also engage in educational outreach through workshops, masterclasses, and meet-the-artist sessions.

  The student fee supports A&L in preserving and enhancing these services, allowing us to: 1) offer deeply discounted student tickets (typically 80% less than general public prices); 2) provide a wide variety of events at no extra cost; 3) offer student employment opportunities and internships for over 80 UCSB students annually; 4) foster meaningful student-artist interactions through educational outreach; and 5) bring influential thinkers, authors, and artists to campus, providing students with unique learning opportunities beyond the classroom.

  Pro Statements

  AS/KCSB-FM professional staff in broadcast media and journalism form an integral and necessary part of the successful operation of UCSB’s campus radio station and the student experience. Career staff are responsible not only for safeguarding station assets by ensuring compliance with University, State, and Federal regulations, but they also provide valuable mentoring, training, and skills-sharing in a multitude of areas, including broadcasting, journalism, sportscasting, sound engineering, digital content production, event planning, budgeting, public relations and marketing, and leadership
  development.

  As a university licensee, KCSB’s mandate is educational, therefore career staff are teaching students about community media in the public interest. This is achieved by providing free public service announcements, news coverage for campus and local organizations, and emergency communications for signal area communities and student populations. Staff are mentors, providing a next-steps education for students as they prepare for careers beyond the university. Skills acquired here touch industries ranging from entertainment to broadcasting, journalism, and non-profit media management.

  Career staff provide essential continuity of service at KCSB, a station widely recognized for its communications services (KCSB News, Sports News coverage of Gaucho Athletics; coverage of the local music scene); its partnerships with other campus initiatives (UCSB Reads, Multicultural Center); and for its exceptional level of Gaucho alumni engagement.

  Pro Statements

  The Associated Students Bike Committee is responsible for funding the maintenance and improvements to campus bike infrastructure, as well as educating students on best practices regarding bike safety through events such as bike fairs, workshops, and tabling. This year we coordinated the repair and repaving of several damaged areas of bike path, including the dip by the HSSB intersection, the path north of Cheadle Hall, and the path behind Phelps, in addition
  to the restriping of the main campus path.
  We identify problem areas on campus by seeking student input and conducting regular campus ride-arounds, then allocating the necessary funds to make improvements or repairs. In 2025-2026, we hope to finalize an in-progress plan to replace the bike path between the Library and the ILP and improve the bike parking lot at the bus loop. We also expect to continue to advocate for proper bike infrastructure for planned new student housing at San Benito and
  upgrades to East Campus housing, including new and wider pathways to and from both areas.
  Through careful planning and by working closely with administrators and students, the Bike Committee has helped make UCSB one of only a few Platinum ranked Bicycle-Friendly Universities in the nation. However, there is always room for improvement. Please vote yes to continue making biking better at UCSB!

  Pro Statements

  KCSB-FM is a student-led, independent, non-commercial media outlet serving the campus and the larger 805 community. We are the first UC radio station, started in the early 1960s by eager students in Anacapa Hall. With diverse programming made in-house by our student and community DJs, KCSB has stood the test of time as a crucial platform for truth and creative expression.

  Independent media plays a vital role in strengthening democracy. In a time of widespread misinformation and attacks on free speech, KCSB remains a trusted and reliable source for independent journalism. Students gain hands-on experience in broadcasting, reporting, editing, and audio production — skills not found elsewhere on campus. These opportunities train the next generation of reporters and media professionals, with many KCSB alumni going on to careers in media.

  Beyond the airwaves, KCSB puts on many free events for the campus throughout the year. These include concerts, merch pop-ups, speaker events, and film screenings. From amplifying emerging artists to creating space for campus dialogue, KCSB events foster creativity, expression, and the search for truth.

  Radio is crucial in moments of crisis. KCSB provides timely updates during floods, wildfires, and other publicly safety concerns. Reaffirming KCSB ensures the student body will continue to have access to this invaluable campus resource — one rooted in public service and student activism.

  Invest in free expression, local storytelling, and the right to be informed. Keep media in the hands of the students.

  Vote YES to keep student voices on the airwaves.

By reaffirming this fee, you are helping to foster a community of equity and opportunity, where students with disabilities are empowered to succeed alongside their peers. Your support is not just an investment in individual students, but in the future of a more inclusive and accessible campus.

  Intramural Sports is a major backbone for physical activity and plays a vital role in the UCSB community by offering a wide range of affordable and diverse recreational opportunities. The Intramural Sports fee is essential to keeping the program running – it helps cover equipment essential to the sports, student wages, and the overall quality of the recreational offerings. Thanks to this fee, students of all skill levels can participate in a broad range of sports regardless of skill level, all without financial strain. Not only is this program popular among student participants, but the program also creates jobs for over 120 students in roles like referees, assistants, and supervisors. These jobs help students gain experience that benefits them personally and professionally in many aspects of life. For many employees, working for Intramurals is their first job, and for many participants it can be their first time trying a new sport! Thanks to the strong support from the Recreation Department and funding from the Intramural Sports fee, students from all backgrounds can take part and find their fit in the program. None of this is feasible without the Intramural Sports fee.

  Pro Statements

  The Isla Vista Tenants Union (IVTU) has been a critical resource for students in Isla Vista, informing the Isla Vista community on their rights as renters, affordable housing, and fair living conditions. By reaffirming the lock-in fee, the student body can support the mission behind IVTU to keep providing vital services like legal support and community efforts to protect students from unfair housing practices and continuously educating them on their rights and responsibilities as tenants, especially as a highly vulnerable population to landlords.

  The $2.38 quarterly fee power ASUCSB is a small price to pay for the continuation of our efforts to provide for those who inhabit Isla Vista. Without this funding, IVTU would struggle to meet the demand for assistance and advocacy, especially with dramatic increases in rising rent, housing instability, and the threat of bluff deterioration which impacts many students living on Del Playa.

  Reaffirming this fee strengthens the student community by ensuring we have enough funds to have a strong and powerful voice in the fight for fair and affordable students. IVTU empowers students to protect their rights and overall improves quality of life within Isla Vista. We have passed grants for students at risk for eviction, provided tools for education (weekly newsletters, pamphlets and merchandise), provided resources like free mold kits and housing supplies, and funded initiatives to ensure the safety of Isla Vista.

  For a stronger and equitable Isla Vista, please vote YES on the IVTU lock-in fee.

Sport Clubs offer an opportunity for students to play their sport at a competitive level against athletes from other schools, while still providing them with time in their schedule to focus their energy on academics and other extracurricular activities. I have participated in club volleyball for 4 years and have worked as a student manager for sport clubs for 3 years, and I can confidently say that this has provided me with lifelong friendships that I will cherish forever and valuable skills in sports management that will help me in my professional life for years to come. Finding a community and sense of belonging is so vital during college, and sport clubs offer that opportunity for over 1400 athletes.

  4. We support sustainability leaders on campus by conducting research on waste production, aiming to help create a zero waste university.

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.

  Do you approve a mandatory fee of $2.52 per undergraduate per quarter (Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer) to support the AS Student Initiated Recruitment and Retention Committee (of the $2.52 collected, $0.63 is for a 25% return to aid, $0.12 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 $1.75 will go to the AS Student Initiated Recruitment and Retention Committee)?

  
  

  Pro Statements

  This year marks the eleventh anniversary of the AS Student Initiated Recruitment and Retention Committee (SIRRC). In 2007, SIRRC was created primarily to provide services and support to first-generation, low-income, and marginalized and underrepresented students, while still serving all students. The organization’s history includes the development of the Guiding Underrepresented Individuals Developing Educational Success (GUIDES) Summer Orientation (for first years and transfer students), GUIDES Mentorship Program (San Marcos High School and La Cuesta Continuation School), Book Bank, and the AS Food Bank. Additional projects include First Year Mentorship, CAMP, College Trip, PAGE+, study jams, and funding requests for other campus organizations.
  A dedicated $2.52 per quarter per undergraduate fee would allow for a secured annual budget in order to continue and expand the number of students who could access SIRRC programs. The secured annual budget will support SIRRC’s programs and help serve a growing population of students.
