A group of First Nations University faculty members have issued a written statement calling for change at the university. CBC reports that that the statement—signed anonymously by “concerned [FNU] faculty”—outlines their issues with the university’s leadership style and financial management, as well as the recent statement from the board of governors, which they said could be perceived as “threatening our rights to academic freedom and open expression.” The faculty are reportedly calling for the suspension of the university’s executive team, the dissolution of the board of governors, and an end to “political interference by the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations.” CTV News states that the Government of Saskatchewan is following the situation.
