Welcome to the UC Santa Barbara Faculty Association (SBFA).
The SBFA is a voluntary membership organization of University of California, Santa Barbara faculty. It provides faculty with an alternative voice, in addition to the regular channels of the Academic Senate and the Administration.
The SBFA works to protect salaries, pensions, and heath care; to support excellence in teaching and research; to promote transparency in university finances; and to defend academic freedom.
We are affiliated with the Council of University of California Faculty Associations (CUCFA), SBFA works with CUCFA to advocate with all UC Faculty Associations on behalf of UC Senate faculty.
