Ericsson Cui – UTM Candidate for University of Toronto Governing Council 2026
Work Study positions reduced by half. Students lost income they depended on. This election, you decide who's next at that table.
$3.6 Billion Budget. Students Weren't the Priority.
Work Study helps students who can't afford tuition pay for rent, food, and textbooks. The Governing Council approved this cut. It's predicted to remain static for the next five budget years. This election, you decide who sits at that table.
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.
Three Fights. No Excuses.
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.
I will demand that every dollar allocated to UTM is made public. I will demand justification for every cut. No more accepting closed-door decisions about our campus.
When the Council votes on funding, facilities, or policy, I will put UTM's needs 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?"— Ericsson Cui
