The UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) Associated Students (AS) Senate recently passed a bill raising the honorarium of appointed and elected officers which was co-authored by Senator Esmeralda Quintero-Cubillan and Senator Emanuel Roman.
An honorarium is the salary senators and officers receive at the end of each quarter in return for their service to the student body and the university. Currently, UCSB’s student government is one of the most funded across the UC System, with $211.59 per quarter – or $634.77 per year – in student fees included in undergraduate tuition going toward AS operations.
Honoraria values are capped, meaning that the bill will not automatically entitle senators and officials to the increased amounts when it goes into effect during the 2021-22 school year. Additionally, each recipient’s quarterly performance would be evaluated to ensure payments, and recommendations are justified by their labor.
