Share your feedback to help finalize the SFU Academic Plan
May 22, 2025
This message is sent on behalf of Dilson Rassier, Provost and Vice-President Academic and Peter Hall, Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President, Academic
Dear Colleagues,
The SFU Academic Plan serves as a guide for actions that will advance What’s Next: The SFU Strategy over the coming years, while affirming our institutional commitment to the academic mission. With the previous five-year plan concluded in 2024, the institutional SFU Academic Plan (2025-2030) is being developed consultatively with input from academic leaders, senior administrators, senate committees, student councils and others across the university community.
How to submit feedback
We are pleased to share the latest draft of the SFU Academic Plan and invite members of the SFU community to review the draft plan and submit their feedback here: SFU Academic Plan and Community Consultation. This consultation period will remain open until Wednesday, June 4, 2025.
91ÅÝܽ the planning process
As a learning institution, academic planning is a continuous process that ensures SFU teaching, research, engagement and support activities are well-positioned to achieve our collective goals and address challenges and opportunities in the years ahead. Following the institutional and faculty/unit planning that was initiated last year, the planning process was temporarily paused following federal government policy changes affecting international students, global economic instability and indications of constraints on the provincial budget early this year. This pause enabled the SFU academic planning team to revisit the resource assumptions underpinning the institutional plan and update the draft SFU Academic Plan. The draft we are sharing now outlines high-level academic goals at an institutional level, provides context for faculty/unit planning, and informs enrolment, faculty complement renewal and budget planning.
We look forward to your feedback on the draft SFU Academic Plan.
