CBC – The Dechinta Centre for Research and Learning — the N.W.T.’s ‘bush university’ — is voicing concerns that proposed territorial legislation would exclude it from core public funding. A new discussion paper by the territorial government on the governance of post-secondary institutions — the first step toward accrediting such institutions in the territory says Indigenous institutes, which are Indigenous-governed and operated, would fall under the private sector and outside of the publicly funded post-secondary system. The school also said it ignores the territorial government’s responsibility to protect treaty rights and provide quality public education. CBC
