Governance & Autonomy

FPSE is committed to protecting the governance and autonomy of post-secondary institutions, recognizing that these principles are essential for academic freedom, equitable education, and effective faculty representation.

Institutional autonomy ensures that decisions regarding curriculum, research, and staffing reflect the needs of students and faculty, free from undue government or administrative overreach. FPSE continues to advocate for transparent, democratic governance structures that empower faculty and staff, safeguard academic freedom, and resist external pressures that threaten the integrity of BC’s post-secondary education system.

Committees

FPSE’s standing committees connect the dots between our workplaces, our unions, and our communities. FPSE committees provide members a place to share information, experience and insights across all of our member faculty associations. Through these committees, FPSE members help set our priorities, develop policy and contribute to research and campaigns.
