Good to see you guys.

@GWARCUM Don't make students (who fired the administration and brought in a new crew of academics) pay for crooked administrators problems. I've met many students from this university who are very passionate and their people's futures. PS they re-hired westerlund to show the importance of having this university.

Let's not forget the other university's with a soaring debt but still stand today. What about that university in Quebec that had the 500,000,000 dollar debt? or the $5,000,000 CNA issue?

3000 Grads since 1976 when it was the Indian federated collage , constantly running in deficit , trips to Vegas , Scholarship fund drained , Westerlund fired for blowing whistile on unjustifiable spending ... oh ya lets sink more money into this gong show!

@GWARCUM The University of Saskatchewan has the least transparent board of govenors in the country for any post-sec institution, the govt is refused access to their financial reports. The U of S receives 80 million in funding . . . Why are they allowed to act this way? Because the U of S is not the First Nations University of Canada.

@GWARCUM The thing is, this has nothing to do with race. People make it out as race all the time, it isn't. This was an issue of poor leadership. Non-Indian institutions are ripe with poor leadership but nobody goes screaming around that the whites are wasting our money . . . That would be ridiculous.

@CanadaIncorporated The same pattern of corruption repeats itself with TAX PAYERS funds in native issues over and over in Sask., so why shoud they foot the bill . I have noticed that none of the Bands in Canada that do make millions IE: Osyoos have not stepped up to plate to help fund FNU. Work out your own salvation. Do not depend on others.(Buddha)

This University is breeding leaders that have proudly stood up to the corruption within. We literally fought hard to remove them from our school.

The government does not have answers to our questions. They have been recycling the same sentence for 3 months.

Other institutions lack transparency and have questionable leadership and refuse to hand over financial information to a worse degree than FNUniv did, and we still dealt with the problem.

This school does great things. Believe.

"For us, warriors are not what you think of as warriors. The warrior is not someone who fights, because no one has the right to take another's life. The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others. His task is to take care of the elderly, the defenseless, those who can not provide for themselves, and above all, the children, the future of humanity." -- Sitting Bull
