Edison Chua appears to have had a slow start to the year.

He has not maintained detailed and consistent officer reports. Large chunks are absent, and each week’s report is generally limited to a few points – significantly less than other Undergraduate Students Association Council officers. Notes on internal affairs for several weeks are also notably missing.

“It doesn’t come intuitively for me to just update that,” he said. “If that’s something that the student body should know, then that’s something I would try to include from here moving forward.”

He has since submitted more detailed reports beginning this quarter, offering a hopeful future for his office’s transparency record.

Chua’s fulfillment of his campaign platforms follows a similar trajectory.

He said his office has prioritized diversity in the hiring process and partnerships with outside organizations. But, other platforms, like accountability and transparency, have seen stunted progress, which he said was because of financial issues. The same goes for his promise to meet with more cultural student organizations, where he attributes his lack of headway to differing changing among the organizations because of the Trump administration.

This does not mean his tenure has been without successes. He said his office’s coalitions led a basic needs fair last quarter, and added he ensured marginal growth of both his Basic Needs Coalition and Youth Empowerment Coalition.

Chua said he views his greatest achievement thus far as the camaraderie of his staff and their ability to meet the individual goals they had when joining his team. However, the Board would love to see more concrete leadership on his own part.
