Confederation Of University Faculty Assns Of Bc, Vancouver, BC

Created on Tuesday, 23 July 2013 11:14 The Confederation of University Faculty Associations of British Columbia (CUFA BC) represents approximately 4, 600 faculty, lecturers, professional librarians and other academic staff at British Columbia's five research universities: Simon Fraser University (SFU), University of British Columbia (UBC), University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) and University of Victoria (UVic) . Our purpose is to advocate for a system of publicly-funded post-secondary education that is of high-quality and broadly accessible. CUFA/BC believes that anyone who can benefit from post-secondary education should be able to try and attain that education regardless of economic or social circumstance. We try to achieve these goals through informing politicians, opinion leaders, the media and the general public of the benefits of higher education, and the difficulties in providing a high-quality, broadly-accessible system of public post-secondary institutions. CUFA BC is governed by a Council consisting of representatives of each of the member faculty associations, and operated on a day-to-day basis by the President and the Executive Director.
