Like the provincial and national organizations that we are members of, including the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT), the Canadian Labour Congress (CLC), the Federation of Post-Secondary Educators (FPSE), the BC Federation of Labour, and numerous other organizations that we are affiliated with, the KFA is committed to working to fight racism in our workplace.\nThe KFA looks forward to learning more about the TFA's work, and working directly and collaboratively with the TFA in our shared commitment to learn about the barriers that BIPOC employees face at KPU, to implement policy changes and employment practices that are centered on anti-racism, and to improve language in our collective agreement that reflects what we learn as a result of our efforts. As part of this work, we hope the KFA and TFA will acknowledge and build upon the efforts of faculty who have worked, some for decades, to develop anti-racist initiatives at KPU.\" class=\"wp-image-156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/files\/2021\/01\/KFA-Anti-racism-working-group-correspondence-to-TFA-final-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/files\/2021\/01\/KFA-Anti-racism-working-group-correspondence-to-TFA-final-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/files\/2021\/01\/KFA-Anti-racism-working-group-correspondence-to-TFA-final-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/files\/2021\/01\/KFA-Anti-racism-working-group-correspondence-to-TFA-final-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/files\/2021\/01\/KFA-Anti-racism-working-group-correspondence-to-TFA-final-620x802.jpg 620w, https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/files\/2021\/01\/KFA-Anti-racism-working-group-correspondence-to-TFA-final.jpg 1224w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 791px) 100vw, 791px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":132,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-154","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-updates"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/132"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=154"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":157,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/154\/revisions\/157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=154"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=154"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dev.wordpress.kpu.ca\/antiracism\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=154"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
