REGINA - Students at the First Nations University of Canada in Regina say they're frustrated with the people who run the troubled school.

Cadmus Delorme, with the university student association, says students have been pleading for changes to be made but their voices aren't being heard.

The students took their case to the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations, but Delorme says there was too much division among officials to reach any decision.

There have been ongoing issues with the way the school is managed and allegations of financial irregularities.

The Saskatchewan government has cut funding to the aboriginal university, saying it has lost confidence in the school.

Delorme, who is a business student, says he's worried the school may close because of the funding cut.
