    Memorial University responds to the Auditor General's audit and says work is ongoing

    Thursday, 23 January 2025 12:00

    By Tonya Organ

    MUN President Dr. Neil Bose says this report shows the complexity of infrastructure across campuses.

    Memorial University has issued a statement in light of an audit this week by the Auditor General. Denise Hanrahan tabled the audit with nine recommendations, saying, without a reasonable plan  any funding to tackle deficiencies at Memorial University would potentially be a waste of taxpayers and students’ money. MUN President Dr. Neil Bose says this report shows the complexity of infrastructure across campuses. He says as the province’s only university, it has many dedicated spaces for teaching, learning, research, public engagement, working and living on campus. Bose says the AG’s recommendations are consistent with work that has been ongoing recently and they will continue to seek innovative approaches to address infrastructure challenges.
