Econ Assistant Professor and Grad Students Publish Report on Campus Police Department Calling for Greater Transparency

Three members of the UC Santa Barbara Department of Economics drafted a report on the campus police department in September 2020, criticizing the department’s lack of transparency — in particular regarding its $10 million budget — and calling for greater public access to basic department information. 
One of their biggest findings was that the UCPD, though part of a major public university system, did not make information publicly available on how officers spend their time on the job and how its $10 million budget is being used.

The report was authored by three department members as part of a diversity initiative following the killing of George Floyd in May 2020, and later circulated internally among UCSB faculty in the social sciences division.
