The Federation of Post-Secondary Educators of BC (FPSE) is demanding that the Government of British Columbia take action given the ongoing announcements of layoffs from BC postsecondary institutions. FPSE states that BC and the BC Ministry of Post-Secondary Education and Future Skills “have been silent on the plight of our institutions.” FPSE Executive Director Michael Conlon said that the provincial budget did not mention postsecondary institutions and that neither the minister nor the premier have made public statements about postsecondary cuts. “Our members are losing patience with obfuscation and political games,” said FPSE President Brent Calvert. “We are ready to enter into a meaningful dialogue with the government to ensure we have a postsecondary education sector that meets the needs of all British Columbians.”
