ISEP Cancellation Paused
February 16, 2024
The FSA is happy to share that, following BCIT’s decision to withdraw the recommended cancellation of the PELD program in January, we were informed this week that the proposed cancellation of the International Student Entry Program (ISEP) has been put on hold indefinitely. BCIT has cited the recent Federal announcement limiting international student enrollment as a main driver. Yet it is also clear that the tremendous amount of work to provide feedback by members in ISEP, FSA staff—on both the member engagement and labour relations sides of the house—our board, and members from across the institute was heard. Thank you all for your thoughtful and compelling responses! We still have work to do to see the cancellation fully withdrawn and look forward to acting again with you in solidarity to see that happen.
