Episode Description

First Nations University of Canada in Saskatchewan is facing scrutiny after an internal investigation into its president was leaked.

The report, obtained by APTN News, looks into allegations against FNU president Jacqueline Ottmann involving nepotism and mismanagement.

Prepared by Deloitte Legal Canada, the report substantiated many of the claims and found the president created what it called a 'circle of favour' around her office.

In a statement, the chair of the board of governors said the board reviewed the reports and voted to retain Ottmann.

Joining host Dennis Ward to break it all down on the Truth and Politics panel are Jennifer Laewetz, CEO of Paskwâw Strategies and Niigaan Sinclair, columnist with the Winnipeg Free Press.
