The Fédération québécoise des professeures et professeurs d’université has submitted a petition to the National Assembly of Québec. Pointing to reports that demonstrate declining academic freedom and other issues in higher education around the world, FQPPU asserts that action must be taken to restore the university to its role as a place of free thought and debate. The petition urges the public to “Relight the Beacon” and rally in defence of five key pillars: public funding, academic freedom, collegiality, institutional autonomy, and resistance to the commodification of knowledge.
