Inside IV: Activists Call for more UCSB Housing

KCSB News

Sustainable University Now, a coalition of local activists, is demanding that UC Santa Barbara leaders live up to a pledge to provide more student housing. As UCSB has grown enrollment over the past decade, student housing has not kept up. The University recently renewed plans to consider consider building a massive residence hall, which could house over 4,300 students. The proposed building, to be financed by local billionaire Charles Munger, was dubbed 'Dormzilla' in a recent SB Independent story. The residence hall would be three times larger than the current largest dorm complex, and become the tallest building on campus (besides Storke Tower). KCSB's Pia Ramos speaks with Dick Flacks, representing SUN, about why they are calling on UCSB leaders to fulfill the pledge to build more housing.
