STATEMENT OF SUPPORT FOR GRADUATE STUDENTS SEEKING COST OF LIVING ADJUSTMENT

Department of Anthropology, UCSB. Casey Walsh, Chair

On February 28, 2020, the Faculty of the Department of Anthropology  at U.C. Santa Barbara voted unanimously to adopt the following statement:

"The Department of Anthropology faculty supports the graduate students in their efforts to secure a Cost-of-Living-Adjustment (COLA) to bring graduate students out of rent burden. We base our support on the recognition of structural inequalities that undermine the public mission of the University of California.

To Anthropology Undergraduates re: TA Strike

As many of you may have been hearing, UCSB TAs went on strike as of yesterday in solidarity with the cost of living adjustment (COLA) strike among TAs at UC Santa Cruz. UCSB TAs also hope to use this action to get a COLA increase for themselves due to the very high cost of living in the Santa Barbara area. It is an exciting time to be a UCSB student, but you may also have lots of questions - below is some information that might help answer some of those questions.

How does this affect you as an Anthropology Department undergraduate student?
