Editorial Board USAC Endorsement



The editorial board is composed of multiple Daily Bruin staff members and is dedicated to publishing informed opinions on issues relevant to students. The board serves as the official voice of the paper and is separate from the newsroom.

The Daily Bruin Editorial Board has endorsed candidates for all 13 offices in this week’s undergraduate student government elections.

In deciding endorsements, between two and four representatives of the board met with each candidate to discuss his or her platforms, goals, evaluation of the current council,and knowledge about USAC.

From interviews, we also considered how the candidates would interact with other members of the council and represent a diversity of student needs.

From there, the board voted on the endorsement for each office. The candidate with a majority of the board’s votes earned our backing.

We endorsed individuals as individuals, not as slate representatives.

Board members who have personal relationships with the candidates abstained from voting for the office the candidate was running for.

Voting begins today on MyUCLA at 1 p.m. and runs through Thursday at 8 p.m.
