♦The Isla Vista Tenants Union, formed during the 1998-99 academic year, is a group of concerned residents interested in providing services to UCSB students who are tenants in Isla Vista, along with other tenants in the IV community. The IVTU educates tenants on their rights and responsibilities and acts as a resource when problems arise. The IVTU hopes to build a sense of community in Isla Vista, one that is educated, proactive and united. In 2000 UCSB students passed a $1 lock-in fee, which provides operating funds needed for the IVTU’s educational activities. Projects in 2001-2002 included:
•A tenants’ outreach drive held in February 2002 to distribute 4,000 renters’ rights booklets and launch the landlord evaluation program developed by IVTU, AS Legal Services, IV Community Relations and other housing experts. •La Pachanga de Inquilionos-Tenants Jam, a night of celebration and inspiration for IV tenants. The event included food, live music, IVTU information and various speakers. •The El Encanto Project, an organized effort to support the building of an 18-unit affordable housing development in Goleta. Twenty IVTU members attended a Board of Supervisors meeting to endorse and advocate for the project. •The IVTU took an increasingly active role in the Goleta cityhood hearings. The

the Office of the Chancellor for coordinating the university’s interface with the Isla Vista community. That position continued during the 2001-02 year. The director of Isla Vista relations served as one of the university’s representatives to master plan efforts; to the Isla Vista community safety group; and to the Teen Center selection committee; and represented the university on the community center project committee. Also during this reporting period, three associate deans, whose job descriptions were expanded in 99-00 to include formal responsibilities for Isla Vista, expanded and intensified their work in IV. Additionally the campus physician devoted more time and attention to Isla Vista as the point person for the campus’s AOD reduction efforts, whose focus now includes the campus and community.

Research on effective recreation alternatives to alcohol consumption.

  • AM
  • ♦The Isla Vista Alcohol and Other Drugs Council (IV AOD Council) was formed as

part of a three-year grant awarded by the County of Santa Barbara Alcohol and Drug Program to the Division of Student Affairs, Office of Student Life. Using a community-based prevention model to foster community ownership and empowerment, the council used environmental strategies to reduce alcohol and other drugs in Isla Vista. Council members included representatives of educational institutions, community agencies, faith-based organizations, law enforcement, UCSB and SBCC students, Isla Vista residents and youth, property managers, and business owners. The IV AOD Council’s mission is to reduce the availability and use of alcohol and other drugs, increase public safety, and improve community health. Specific goals include: change public and institutional policy and practice that address social access, commercial access to alcohol, and alcohol advertising; increase quality of life through reduction of problems and crimes associated with alcohol and other drug abuse in Isla Vista; establish community norms that replace the Isla Vista party culture with a culture of accountability, responsibility, and concern for others; increase alcohol free community events and recreational activities through partnerships with community groups and businesses.

PS11

During the 2001-02 year, the council engaged in the following work:
•Defined the goals and mission of the council, engaged in strategic planning, developed initiatives and recruited new members. •Through community organizing, letters of support, and public testimony, the Council helped to change community and institutional policies. Two policies were passed: UCSB’s parental notification of alcohol-related arrests in Isla Vista, and the County of Santa Barbara community safety ordinance. The council actively supported the initiatives at community town hall meetings; wrote letter of endorsement to UCSB’s chancellor, vice chancellor of student affairs and dean of students; gave a presentation to the County ADP Advisory Board on both parental notification and the community safety ordinance; obtained their support both in a letter to the Board of Supervisors and in public testimony by the Board president; testified at the Board of Supervisors meeting on May 28th, 2002 to endorse the community safety ordinance. Thirteen council members participated, with eight members providing public testimony; and, wrote letters to the editor of the Daily Nexus supporting both parental notification and the community safety ordinance. •Gathered student and community data to identify needs and policy initiatives.

As president: I will do my part to improve the affordability of a UCSB education by carefully reviewing the AS budget and eliminating all wasteful spending of our student fees. I will take a stand against the burgeoning police state in Isla Vista. In a community where violent crimes such as sexual assault are all too common, we should devote limited police resources towards apprehending dangerous criminals, not hassling students for victimless crimes. I will preserve Isla Vista's identity as a unique niche community. I will be a strong advocate for free speech, expanding 'free speech zones' on campus and eliminating speech codes that curtail students' freedom of expression. The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) has given UCSB a “yellow lightâ€​ ranking for its speech codes. I consider this Jason Garshfield unacceptable for a university of our caliber.

I will develop a credible plan for Isla Vista self-governance that allows this town to reach its full potential, and creates spaces for responsible businesses that serve the community.
