Federal Indian Affairs Minister Chuck Strahl has announced the federal government will end it's funding for the First Nations University effective March 31, 2010. That adds up to about $7 million annually.
"For some time now, Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) has worked with the First Nations University of Canada to help it address long-standing, systemic problems related to governance and financial management of the institution," Strahl said in a statement.
"There have been repeated delays by the institution to take action on these matters. This situation can no longer continue."
This latest loss in funding follows a provincial government decision to pull it's more than $5 million in funding last week.
