Goal 1: Amplify student voices on academic services and support issues such as those listed below, and work with administration to seek solutions to undergrad issues of concern. By 2023/24, compile a written, recorded, or live guide and provide training to teach students how to get in contact with administration, as well as which administrators to reach out to for which issues.
Goal 2: To improve housing quality and affordability for students and other IV residents, create, launch, and maintain the Rate My IV Rental website/app to enable renters to report rental rates and experiences, with a completion goal of Fall 2023.
Goal 3: Increase AS’ participation and input on UCSB’s Police Advisory Board, and expand work with the Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD) and the county so AS can better address student and community safety and accountability concerns both on campus and in IV. Address concerns of safety infrastructure such as lighting, and safety policy such as education regarding issues of race, identity, and disability.
Goal 4: By Fall 2022, AS will communicate to UCSB administration the need for and detailed ideas for a UCSB and IV Community Safety Website which contains resources for all campus and community safety concerns in one place. By Spring 2023, AS will work with UCSB administration to create a UCSB and IV Community Safety Website. And by Fall 2023, the UCSB and IV Community Safety Website will be fully operational.
Goal 5: By Fall 2022, create a collaborative AS Transportation Planning Committee with a significant role on the UCSB Master Circulation Planning Committee and/or collaboration with campus administration to address transportation and circulation issues of students both on campus and in IV.
Goal 6: Work with campus facilities to create outdoor study areas (covered, solar powered with lights and outlets) in the following locations: near the UCEN, Girvetz, North Hall, the Arbor, Phelps, Broida, and/or Life Sciences, with a goal of completion during the 2022/23 academic school year. Additionally, identify locations and partners to expand outdoor study space to some locations in IV by Fall 2023.
