Canada Cuts Off Federal Funds for Its Only Aboriginal-Run University
The Canadian government is halting the transfer of federal funds to the troubled First Nations University, citing concerns over finances and longstanding governance issues, according to a statement issued by Chuck Strahl, minister of Indian and Northern Affairs. The federal action follows a similar decision by the Saskatchewan government last week to end its support. Those actions will take away about half of the university's support as of April 1. Students and faculty members are shocked, according to CBC News. Students are worried about being able to continue their studies, although the Universities of Regina and Saskatchewan have said they will help.
