UofT Governing Council Election 2026
Your Tuition
Built This University.
Now Take It Back.

The Governing Council controls $3.4 billion in student money. UTM has little presence at that table. This election, we change that.

The Problem

$3.4 Billion. Zero Representation.

Dedicated UTM advocates on Council

Every year, UTM students pour millions into this university. And every year, when the Governing Council writes budgets, sets priorities, and cuts Work Study positions, UTM is an afterthought. Decisions are made downtown while we pay the bill.

I Don't Make Promises. I Make Arguments.

I have raised $150,000 for my startup. I know that budgets reveal priorities. I know how to read a financial statement, question an allocation, and demand accountability. On the Governing Council, I will not smile and nod. I will ask the questions UTM needs asked.

What I Will Do on Day One

Three Fights. No Excuses.

01
Demand Budget Transparency for UTM

Every dollar allocated to UTM will be public. Every cut will require justification. No more closed-door decisions about our campus.

02
Fight to Restore Work Study Positions

Thousands of Work Study positions have vanished. These aren't line items. They're students who can't afford to eat. I will make this the Council's problem.

03
Push UTM's Priorities Into Every Vote

When the Council votes on funding, facilities, or policy, I will ensure UTM's needs are on the record. Every. Single. Time.

"Who speaks for us? We fund this university. We fill its classrooms. And yet, when budgets are written, when priorities are set, where is UTM's voice?"
