First Nations University of Canada budget deficit leads to layoffs – Regina Leader-Post
August 28, 2015
The new semester at First Nations University of Canada will be wrought with many changes.
Not only is the Regina campus going through a renovation, but the Regina and Prince Albert campuses will also say goodbye to some of their staff members, Lynn Wells, FNUniv VP of academics, said budgetary constraints have resulted in staff layoffs.
“In total there are nine staff members impacted,” she said. “What we did is we tried to minimize the impact in any area, so the layoffs were spread over a number of administrative and academic units.”
She said staff fluctuates at the institution, and before the layoffs there were about 100 employees in total between the Regina. Saskatoon and Prince Albert campuses. “We have many, many more staff that are on casual and on an interim basis,” said Wells.
