CSN, FQPPU call for QC higher education minister to step down

News

The Confédération des syndicats nationaux (CSN) and the Fédération québécoise des professeures et professeurs d’université (FQPPU) have called for the resignation of Government of Québec Higher Education Minister Pascale Déry. The CSN has raised concerns about alleged political interference in curriculum decisions and recent budget reductions. While the FQPPU has criticized the minister’s approach to academic freedom, higher education funding, and policy direction. The Montréal Gazette reports that these statements follow an open letter signed by over 750 CEGEP and university faculty members, which expressed opposition to a ministerial investigation into campus climates at several anglophone colleges.
