The University of Victoria says it's "truly sorry" after a third-party review of its Indigenous Governance program found evidence of "dysfunctional classroom dynamics" that left current and former students "traumatized." "From our interviews, it was apparent that the emotional and psychological impact of dysfunctional classroom dynamics can be profound." The report recommended the university improve the program's "professionalism and classroom dynamics" by developing protocols "based on local Indigenous teachings and traditions." Jeff Kanohalidoh Corntassel is the former director of the Indigenous Governance program. The university said about 11 new students — 10 master's and one doctoral — were scheduled to take the program in the coming year.
