Welcome!

The UNBC Faculty Association (UNBC-FA) was incorporated in 1994 under the BC Society's Act. The FA is voluntarily recognized by the Board of Governors of UNBC as the bargaining agent for all members of faculty. All faculty members are covered by the Faculty Agreement negotiated by the Faculty Association.

We are members of the Canadian Association of University Teachers (CAUT) and the Confederation of University Faculty Associations of British Columbia (CUFA/BC).

Our purposes are:

1. To support and promote higher education in British Columbia.
   
   
2. To promote the welfare of faculty members employed by the University of Northern British Columbia and the welfare of the University of Northern British Columbia.
   
   
3. To act as the bargaining agent of all members of the Faculty Association employed by the University of Northern British Columbia and to regulate relations between the Faculty Association members and the University through collective bargaining.
   
   
4. To uphold the principles of academic freedom, tenure, equality, and human rights within the University.

The UNBC-FA is committed to the empowerment and success of its members through the negotiation and upholding of fair and equitable Faculty Agreements.
