Members of the Saint Mary's University Faculty Union gather to protest the university president's lack of response to their requests for financial information.

Cathy Conrad, a geography professor at Saint Mary's University, stood at the entrance of the campus holding a bullhorn.

SMUFU requested basic financial information from two years ago from their president, Robert Summerby-Murray, and board of governors. “How will this university move forward when it doesn't support international students,” Lauren McKenzie, an instructor at the SMU language centre, said. She came to the rally to support SMUFU's denouncement of SMU leaders.

SMU’s mismanagement not only affected faculty, but also students, said Baxter Madore, a third-year computer science student. His scholarship was cut by the university without notice.
