Pierre Harfouche has resigned as University of Toronto Students’ Union (UTSU) vice-president, university affairs.

He announced the resignation in an email sent out to members of the UTSU board of directors earlier tonight.

“For a few months now, I have continued to feel that I, in my capacity as [vice-president, university affairs], cannot accomplish the goals I initially set out to complete when I ran for the position,” the email reads.

Harfouche was the first executive member in eight years who did not run on a slate that included incumbents.
