Released on February 3, 2010
Advanced Education, Employment and Labour Minister Rob Norris announced today that the Government of Saskatchewan is withdrawing $5.2 million from First Nations University effective April 1, 2010.
"Our government has lost confidence in the governance and management of First Nations University," Norris said. "It is our duty as government to protect our province's students and taxpayers. Sadly, it has become clear that we can no longer protect their interests by continuing to support First Nations University."
The government will begin working immediately with post-secondary partner institutions to determine the best way to support students already enrolled in FNUniv classes through August 31, 2010.
"This is a regrettable, but necessary decision," Norris said. "It is time for politicians to step back and the academic leadership to step forward. I encourage the University of Regina to work with relevant parties in identifying future directions for these student and their programs."
In addition, Norris announced the creation of Student Support Teams staffed by officials from the Ministry of Advanced Education, Employment and Labour, the University of Regina and the University of Saskatchewan.
"Supporting the students of First Nations University is our first priority," Norris said. "The Student Support Teams will begin work shortly, meeting with students in Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert to answer their questions and help them prepare for the coming academic year."
Advanced Education, Employment and Labour is also making information available online immediately at www.aeel.gov.sk.ca/fnu-information.
Norris also thanked First Nations University students for their commitment.
"I applaud FNUniv's students for their courage, dedication and leadership on this issue," Norris said.
