A Memorial University antagonist and blogger says he has uncovered information which shows that the Signal Hill campus is spending a lot more than it is taking in.

Matt Barter, whose movements on campus were actually restricted by the institution at one point a few years ago, used access-to-information to obtain financial numbers on the satellite campus.

In 2024-25, Barter says total expenditures were $2.17-million while total revenue was just shy of $1.19-million – nearly a one-million dollar shortfall.

Memorial is in a money crunch and looking for ways to cut expenses. It has already eliminated the Harris Centre and is taking a look at whether to keep the Harlow campus in London.

The new government has had preliminary discussions with MUN officials, but has given no indication whether it will increase its operational grant.
