The executive director of the University of Toronto Students’ Union has resigned, and the union is currently seeking a replacement.

Amir Bashir, a veteran of Scarborough campus student politics, assumed the position upon the departure of previous director Angela Regnier. Unlike other senior positions at the union, the executive director is hired rather than elected. UTSU executives declined to comment on the nature of Bashir’s work with the union.

Interviews for the vacant position will begin the week of August 20, conducted by a hiring committee including UTSU president Shaun Shepherd and vice presidents Munib Sajjad and Corey Scott, as well as two other directors.

Bashir’s departure was announced on the UTSU website and that applications for his replacement were solicited through a website called “Charity Village.”
