Policy 5401 Departmental Resource Document

Policy 5401 Departmental Resource Document

The FSA’s Policy 5401 Working Group, led by Vice President Shannon Kelly, has put together a Resource Guide for members and Departments wishing to respond to the employer’s proposed policy 5401 changes. As members will recall, BCIT is proposing a policy change to dramatically cut the minimum credit count for diplomas from 110 to 75 credits without consulting individual Departments about the feasibility or pedagogical soundness of these across-the-board cuts. The FSA believes Departments should be consulted individually and thoroughly before this policy change is finalized. The final day to submit comments to the Education Council (EdCo) is January 31, 2024.
