An open letter to CapU students from the faculty

You belong.

You belong at a Cap that is diversified and interdisciplinary in its programs and courses.

You belong at a Cap that is collaborative and transparent in the creation of visions for our campus.

You belong at a Cap that is respectful of consultation and the wisdom of collective decision-making.

Success at Senate

Our efforts to rally for our programs and proper consultation on this recent budget have been successful!

The Capilano University Senate recently passed motions not recommending the proposed budget to the Board of Governors but instead recommending that any decisions on cuts to programs and sections be delayed for one year to give us time to come up with alternatives.

But, we still need to campaign strongly in advance of the Board of Governors meeting on Tuesday, May 14. They make the final decision about the fate of the budget and ultimately the future of programs at Cap.

We need all of our voices sending a very strong message!

To the Members of the Board of Governors: Hit the pause button on cuts to Capilano. Give us time to collectively come up with alternatives.

To our local MLAs: Bring Cap’s funding into line with other institutions that received University status.
