Who We Are
F4P-SFU is a network of faculty who support the cause of Palestinian liberation. We define faculty broadly to include both tenure and non-tenure track faculty and staff.
Our Values
F4P-SFU understands the struggle for Palestinian freedom to be aligned with struggles for justice, equality, and decolonization in many parts of the world. These include movements for Indigenous land rights, Black liberation, gender and sexual freedom, and struggles for a sustainable planet.
F4P-SFU affirms that human rights are universal and indivisible and should be upheld without exception.
F4P-SFU abhors and unequivocally rejects all forms of antisemitism. Our commitments as educators compel us to confront antisemitism wherever it appears.
F4P-SFU rejects the conflation of support for Palestinian liberation with antisemitism.
Our Support for Palestine
F4P-SFU endorses the non-violent call for Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) to compel Israel to comply with international law and end its occupation of Palestine. We pledge to support BDS initiatives that seek to advance the fundamental rights of Palestinians to equality and self-determination.
F4P-SFU affirms the Palestinian right to education and supports building ties with Palestinian academic institutions, colleagues, students, and staff.
On Our Campus
F4P-SFU supports and amplifies the work of Students for Justice in Palestine and other groups working to advance the rights of the Palestinian people. We organize in solidarity with other social justice groups at SFU, across Canada, and around the world.
F4P-SFU rejects all forms of surveillance, targeting, and criminalization of expressions of support for Palestinian rights and liberation at SFU. We recognize that this targeting, as well as heightened security measures on campus, have disproportionately threatened the Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, Jewish, Indigenous, and Black community members among us who stand in solidarity with Palestinian freedom. The more secure among us will strive to protect the more vulnerable.
