The Nexus has compiled profiles of our current Associated Students elected officials to reflect on their past year in office. Looking back on their campaign platforms, we asked our elected officials to tell us about their successes and shortfalls throughout their terms in office.

[Editorâs Note]: Daevionne Beasley was accused of sexually assaulting another UCSB student during his freshman year, an allegation the Nexus last spring. Term in reviews are specifically intended to examine an executiveâs work during their time in office, which is why the allegation is not being addressed in the piece.

The University of California released a policy proposal for a COVID-19 vaccination program on April 22, which would require all students and faculty to be immunized against COVID-19 in order to access any on-campus facilities this coming fall.Â
The proposed policy would go into effect once a vaccine has been granted full approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, according to a campus-wide email authored by the UCSB policy coordinator. The decision was made alongside the California State University system and announced in a joint statement.Â
âIn order to protect our students, faculty and staff, it is imperative that as many people get vaccinated as possible. We already have an entry immunization requirement for measles, mumps, rubella, whooping cough, meningitis and chicken pox,â Ali Javanbakht, UCSBâs Student Health medical director, said in a statement to the Nexus.Â
