The Human Rights Board of Associated Students serves as a forum centered on facilitating and amplifying the interaction of students groups—both within UCSB and our greater community. The Board recognizes its mission to create a forum that encourages, advocates, and promotes respectful and honest communication regarding the education and awareness of basic human rights. This includes, but is not limited to age, class, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, nationality, religion, race, size, sex, and sexuality. The main charge of the board is to promote open education and awareness through events and educational campaigns. The driving force behind this initiative is twofold: ignorance is the primary root of human rights abuses, and when collaborating together we are capable of making a much stronger impact.
