First Nations University faculty get assistance


Faculty at First Nations University of Canada received a $100,000 donation to continue pursuing their disputes against the embattled school.

FNUC has been racked by allegations of mismanagement. Faculty say tribal leaders in Saskatchewan are interfering with decisions being made at the university.

The Canadian Association of University Teachers has spent $160,000 so far to help FNUC employees pursue their grievances.
