Talia Davood is clearly committed to being a Undergraduate Students Association Council officer.

She has walked the walk when it comes to transparency, opening herself to challenging questions from both the Daily Bruin and in her office hours. She regularly attends council meetings and she submits her office reports on-time. Davood has also shown her commitment to working with a diverse group of stakeholders, publishing a funding transparency guide in collaboration with other council officers and creating an open form for club collaboration.

“Everyone deserves a seat at the table, no matter where they’re sitting,” Davood said, when asked about her most important responsibility.

Unfortunately, though, that commitment does not always translate to concrete progress.

Davood pledged definitively in her campaign platforms to provide free Lyft rides, meet with Metro to discuss student safety and organize a self-defense workshop with the Panhellenic Council. None of those things have happened.

Davood’s push to bring better off-campus housing resources is also yet to gain substantial ground. And even though she has hosted a workshop to prepare students for the LSAT and provided free scantrons, professional development did not feature heavily in the general representative’s own self-assessment of her achievements.

In her signature policy of building interfaith relations, Davood acknowledges facing difficulty, with a key stakeholder failing to join her coalition. Though she attributed this in part to antisemitism and said she is still working to find a campus figure who can bring together different groups, her industry is yet to yield the concrete progress her voters expect.
