UCSB and community partners implement Deltopia restrictions and safety measures

Share this article

Facebook

In continued partnership with Santa Barbara County, the City of Goleta and the Isla Vista Community Services District (IVCSD), UC Santa Barbara has again put in place a host of regulations and policies for the first full weekend of April. The restrictions are meant to ensure the safety of students and the broader community during the annual unsanctioned event formerly known as Deltopia.

As in years past, a number of restrictions will be in effect on campus, in Isla Vista, and in the neighboring community over the “Warm Up” weekend (April 5–7), and no overnight visitors will be allowed in residence halls or any university-owned housing. 

Programming planned during this period — both on campus and in Isla Vista — is intended to draw students off the streets and into sanctioned events.

The Associated Students Program Board will hold a concert at the UCSB Events Center Saturday, April 6, that is open only to current UCSB students. Doors open at 8 p.m.

Also on Saturday, April 6, the Isla Vista Spring Festival, hosted by IVCSD , will be held from 1–6 p.m. at Little Acorn Park, featuring live music and food. Restrooms will be accessible across Isla Vista, and resources including Life of the Party and Gauchos for Recovery will be available during the event. In the leadup to the weekend, the district will use social media and door-to-door canvassing to spread awareness of resources including Community Service Officer (CSO) safety escorts, local special ordinances and the spring festival.

Surrounding beaches will be closed to the Campus Point Beach and Sands Beach at UC Santa Barbara will be closed from Friday, April 5, through Sunday, April 7, in coordination with Santa Barbara County’s closure of beaches in Isla Vista. Additionally, the County Community Services Department declared all Isla Vista beaches closed to public entry to protect public health and safety and to protect the beach from excessive waste and litter. 

UCSB is also restricting overnight visitor parking and will be implementing traffic safety checkpoints on campus throughout the weekend.

Campus officials have worked diligently to develop a parking plan to help ensure the safety of the campus community of students, faculty, staff and others who are authorized to use campus facilities during the “Warm Up” weekend.  Additional measures will be in place to discourage the unauthorized use of campus parking facilities to gain access to Isla Vista during the weekend.

Effective Friday, April 5, through Sunday, April 7, the campus will be closed to overnight visitor parking. Campus checkpoints will be set up beginning at 5 p.m. on Friday, April 5, and will continue as needed throughout the weekend to provide safety and security to the campus.  Unauthorized vehicles will be denied access without prior approval.

To park on campus overnight on the dates identified above, all vehicles must be registered with a valid “Reserved,” “A,” “B,” “C,” “H,” or an Annual “Night & Weekend” ePermit.

Short-term ePermit, including Daily, 15-Day Night & Weekend, and Visitor permits issued from the TPS permit portal, permit dispensers and ParkMobile will expire at midnight, Friday, April 5, and Saturday, April 6. These permits are not valid for overnight parking. Unauthorized vehicles parked overnight on campus are subject to a $300 citation and vehicles may be impounded at the owner’s expense. The enhanced parking restrictions will cease between the hours of 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. to allow for normal business on campus.  

As in previous years, some campus parking locations will be closed to support enhanced safety and security measures.

In addition to parking lot closures, traffic in and around the campus will be impacted. If the Sheriff’s Department deems it necessary, access to El Colegio Road and/or Isla Vista may be closed for safety reasons. If roads are closed, proof of residency may be required to enter. Certain roads in Isla Vista may be barricaded and closed to vehicular traffic.

Additional parking restrictions will be in place for certain blocks in Isla Vista and in Goleta neighborhoods around UC Santa Barbara.

Any party or gathering that violates the county outdoor festival and social host ordinance, which prohibits paid entry, alcohol sales, attendance above 250 people and allowing people in rooftops or cliffs, among other things, will be shut down by law enforcement.

Vatican’s top diplomat begins a 6-day visit to Vietnam aimed at normalizing relations

ucsb visit day

By ANIRUDDHA GHOSAL Associated Press

HANOI, Vietnam (AP) — The Vatican’s top diplomat has begun a six-day visit to Vietnam as part of efforts to normalize relations with the communist nation. Archbishop Paul Gallagher, the Holy See’s foreign minister, met his Vietnamese counterpart Bui Thanh Son on Tuesday and expressed the Vatican’s “gratitude” for the progress that has been made to improve ties. The visit took place after Archbishop Marek Zalewski became the first Vatican representative to live and open an office in the Southeast Asian country. Relations between the Vatican and Vietnam were severed in 1975, after the Communist Party established its rule over the entire country following the end of the Vietnam War. Relations have been strained ever since, although the sides have had regular talks since at least the late 1990s.

Belgium

Working visit by the Minister of Foreign Affairs to the Democratic Republic of Congo on 9 and 10 April 2024

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has begun a two-day working visit today to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC).

  • Last updated on April 9, 2024

The Minister of Foreign Affairs has begun a two-day working visit today to the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). The Minister's second visit to Kinshasa is part of a drive to strengthen the bilateral ties between Belgium and the DRC, and a project linked to the House of Representatives' resolution on the segregation suffered by mixed-race people born during the Belgian colonisation in Africa (known as the "Métis" Resolution). During her visit, the Minister of Foreign Affairs will have the opportunity to discuss the security and humanitarian situation in the east of the country and ongoing diplomatic efforts at the regional level.

The visit started with a working breakfast on the security situation in the country and the particularly humanitarian consequences for the population. The Minister then met with her counterpart, Christophe Lutundula, and the outgoing Prime Minister, Jean-Michel Sama Lukonde, to discuss bilateral and regional issues, as well as peace efforts and socio-economic challenges in the DRC. The afternoon will be devoted to a debate with journalism students from the University of Information and Communication Sciences (UNISIC). During this meeting, they will discuss the issue of 'fake news' and its impact on our democracies. In the evening, the minister will discover the richness of Congolese culture through rumba, which is listed as an intangible heritage by UNESCO and has spread in Europe thanks to the Congolese diaspora living in Belgium.

The second day will begin with a visit to the 'Prothea Congo - Ugani Prosthetics' project, a social enterprise that aims to make prostheses more affordable and accessible, particularly in low-income countries. As a subsidiary of the Belgian company Ugani, Prothea stands out for its innovative solution: 3D-printed prostheses. This project, supported by FINEXPO, illustrates the impact and relevance of this instrument, which aims to support the export of Belgian capital goods and related services.

At the end of the morning, the Minister will visit the Congolese Parliament, where she will be received in audience by the President of the National Assembly, Christophe Mboso, before holding talks with a group of newly elected women MPs. The meeting will highlight the importance of women's participation in political life and address the challenges of gender equality in Belgium and the DRC. The event will also provide an opportunity to take stock of a project, supported by Belgium, aimed at promoting women's participation in the electoral process in the DRC through coaching, advocacy and experience-sharing activities.

In the afternoon, a meeting is scheduled with the UN Secretary-General's Special Representative in the DRC and head of MONUSCO, Bintou Keita, to discuss MONUSCO's work and the implementation of the mission's disengagement plan, as well as the general situation in the east of the DRC. In the afternoon, the Minister will also meet the Prime Minister, Judith Suminwa, to congratulate her on her appointment as the first woman to head the next Congolese government. The visit will conclude with a meeting with the participants in the project resulting from the "Métis" Resolution. A delegation of 20 metis will take the same flight as the Minister on 10 April for a four-day visit in Belgium. In line with the objectives of the resolution, this project should enable the history of mixed-race people born during the colonisation to be recognised once again, their expectations to be heard and opportunities for the future to be considered together.

The DRC occupies a prominent place in Belgian foreign policy. Because of the common history they share, Belgium and the DRC enjoy a rich and close relationship, both between official Belgian and Congolese institutions and between the citizens of the two countries. This cooperation is evident in the economic, political, social, cultural and military spheres, among others. The DRC is also the main partner country for the Belgian development cooperation and one of the main recipients of humanitarian aid financed by Belgium.

We are happy with the large support for our candidacy during today’s vote, providing Belgium with a broad mandate from the UNGA, which is sign of confidence in our tradition of multilateral diplomacy pursuing consensus and peace.
