FQPPU’s Petition to Protect Public Mission of Quebec Universities
The Fédération des professeures et professeurs d’Université du Québec (FQPPU) is launching a petition submitted to the National Assembly to protect the public-interest mission of Quebec universities.
This initiative is part of the Relight the Beacon campaign, which seeks to collectively defend the essential pillars of our universities:
- adequate and sustainable public funding
• academic freedom
• genuine collegial governance
• real institutional autonomy
• and a united front against the commodification of knowledge
To go further in supporting the mobilization, add to your email signature the temporary banner with the hyperlink to the petition and encourage your colleagues to do the same.

We hope that this petition will bring together everyone who still believes in the university’s public mission—as a place of free thought, informed debate, and the transmission of knowledge. We also hope that our collective efforts will help restore the importance of the university and its role in a democratic society like Quebec’s to the forefront of public debate.
Together, let’s make sure this beacon continues to shine.
