'''Memorial University of Newfoundland''', or '''MUN''' ({{IPAc-en|m|ʌ|n}}), is a [[Public university|public]] [[research university]] in the province of [[Newfoundland and Labrador]], based in [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's]], with satellite campuses in [[Corner Brook]], [[Happy Valley-Goose Bay]], and [[Harlow, England|Harlow]], England.  Memorial University offers certificate, diploma, undergraduate, graduate, and post-graduate programs, as well as online courses and degrees.

Founded in September 1925 as a memorial to Newfoundlanders and Labradorians who died in the [[First World War]], Memorial is the largest university in [[Atlantic Canada]]; it is also Newfoundland and Labrador's only university. As of 2018, there were 1,330 faculty and 2,474 staff, supporting 18,000 students from nearly 100 countries.<ref name="Memorial University of Newfoundland">{{Cite web|url=https://www.mun.ca/main/|title=Newfoundland and Labrador's University|author=Memorial University of Newfoundland|language=en-CA|access-date=21 February 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080714071312/http://www.mun.ca/main/|archive-date=14 July 2008|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.alternativesjournal.ca/ajs-annual-education-guide-20172018|title=A\J's Annual Education Guide (2017/2018) {{!}} A\J – Canada's Environmental Voice|date=14 February 2017|website=www.alternativesjournal.ca|language=en|access-date=21 February 2019|archive-date=3 December 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201203103039/https://www.alternativesjournal.ca/ajs-annual-education-guide-20172018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

==History==
===Founding===
At its founding, [[Newfoundland and Labrador|Newfoundland]] was a [[Dominion of Newfoundland|dominion]] of the United Kingdom. Memorial University began as Memorial University College (MUC), which opened in September 1925 at a campus on Parade Street in St. John's.<ref name="Collins-2015">{{cite encyclopedia |encyclopedia=The Canadian Encyclopedia |last=Collins |first=Alice |date=4 March 2015 |orig-year=1st pub. 2012 |url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/memorial-university-of-newfoundland/ |title=Memorial University of Newfoundland |access-date=24 March 2019}}</ref> It was founded to honour the war dead from World War I, to provide a way of educating school teachers for the local religious schools, and to offer students higher education locally. Before that, there was no high-ranking post-secondary education in the dominion; students often went to Canada, the United Kingdom, or the United States.  Students were first admitted into a non-degree program in 1925. The original location on Parade Street in St. Johns was established with the help of a grant from the [[Carnegie Corporation of New York]].<ref name="Axelrod-1989">{{cite book |last=MacLeod |first=Malcolm |editor=Paul Axelrod, John G.

The college was established as a memorial to the Newfoundlanders who had lost their lives on active service during the First World War.<ref name="Collins-2015" /> It was later rededicated also to encompass the province's war dead of the Second World War.<ref name=MUNHistory>{{cite web

The first president was [[John Lewis Paton]]. It offered the first two years of university studies. MUC's initial enrolment was 57 students, which peaked at over 400 in the 1940s. In 1933, it merged with the adjacent Normal School and took responsibility for teacher training.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/society/memorial-university-college.php |title=Memorial University College, 1925-1949 |access-date=23 September 2024 |archive-date=25 March 2024 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240325084326/https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/society/memorial-university-college.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Early period===
The period from the founding in 1925 until 1949 in Newfoundland was chaotic, reflecting Newfoundland's shifting economic and political situation, from the last flowering of independence to depression and life on the dole. The 1940 discovery of Newfoundland as a strategic military asset brought a new period of prosperity.<ref name="Axelrod-1989" />

Newfoundland gave up dominion status in 1934, ending self-government in exchange for British Commission of Government rule<ref>{{cite web|title=Aspects of Newfoundland History, 1832-1949|url=http://www.ucs.mun.ca/~melbaker/aspectshis.htm}}</ref> as a crown colony.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cbc.ca/archives/entry/giving-up-self-government|title=Giving up self-government in Newfoundland - CBC Archives}}</ref> Newfoundland remained a crown colony until it joined Canada as a province in 1949.<ref>[[British North America Act, 1949]] (12, 13 & 14 G. 6, c. 22)</ref>

The [[post-Confederation]] government elevated the status of Memorial University College to full university status in August 1949, renaming the institution to Memorial University of Newfoundland.<ref name="Collins-2015" /> Memorial University was established by the Memorial University Act.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://assembly.nl.ca/Legislation/sr/statutes/m07.htm |title=RSNL1990 Chapter M-7 - Memorial University Act|publisher=Legislative Assembly of Newfoundland |access-date=28 February 2015}}</ref>

The enrolment in Memorial's first year was 307 students.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/society/memorial-university-newfoundland.php |title=Memorial University of Newfoundland, 1949-2000 |access-date=23 September 2024 |archive-date=12 May 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230512085710/https://www.heritage.nf.ca/articles/society/memorial-university-newfoundland.php |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Expansion===
{{More citations needed section |date=September 2019}}
In 1959, Memorial pioneered the [[MUN Extension Service|Extension Service]] as a model for field education and community development.

In 1961, enrolment increased to 1400, and Memorial moved from Parade Street to its present location on Elizabeth Avenue (St. John's Campus).<ref name="Collins-2015" />

On 8 March 1965, the government of Newfoundland announced free tuition for first-year students enrolled at Memorial University in St. John's.<ref>{{cite book |title=Fitzhenry and Whiteside Book of Canadian Facts and Dates |last=Pound |first=Richard W. |publisher=Fitzhenry and Whiteside |year=2005}}</ref>
The [[Faculty of Medicine of Memorial University of Newfoundland]] was established in 1967, and the first students were admitted in 1969. It admits approximately 80 students into the M.D. program each year and also offers MSc and PhD programs.

Memorial maintains a campus in [[Harlow]], England which opened to students in 1969. This campus has been a popular location for internships in education, and now offers credit courses, work terms, and internships in a number of areas. The campus accommodates approximately 50 students.

Memorial established the Institut Frecker in [[St. Pierre and Miquelon|St. Pierre]] in 1973, to offer one-semester French immersion programs. It was housed in a building provided by the Archdiocese of St. Pierre until 2000. Now known as the Program Frecker, it is run from the [[FrancoForum]], a language teaching facility owned by the government of St. Pierre. The program is partially supported by the governments of Canada and Newfoundland and Labrador.

In September 1975, a campus was opened in [[Corner Brook]]; it was first renamed [[Sir Wilfred Grenfell College]] in 1979 and renamed again in 2010 as [[Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland]].  1300 students attend Grenfell, which offers full degree programs in several disciplines and partial programs in many other subjects which can be completed at the St. John's campus.

In 1977, the Memorial University of Newfoundland Educational Television Centre implemented the [[Telemedicine]] project.

In 1992, the Institute of Fisheries and Marine Technology in St. John's became affiliated with Memorial University as the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland.  Today, it is named the [[Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland]]. It offers both degree and non-degree programs.

In the early 1990s, open-source collaboration between the Department of Computer Science and the Department of Computing and Communications produced the LabNet system, which today remains the underlying network of computers at Memorial (particularly in the Library Commons).<ref>{{Cite web |last=Rayment |first=Michael T. |title=Labnet Services Summary |url=https://www.labnet.mun.ca/history/ServiceSummary/ServiceSummary.pdf |website=MUN Labnet}}</ref>

===The modern day===
In 2008, the university's hiring process for incoming presidents came under scrutiny for political interference by the province's education minister, [[Joan Shea]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/profs-politicians-attack-burke-over-mun-hiring-1.703515 |title=Profs, politicians attack Burke over MUN hiring |publisher=[[CBC News]] |date=30 July 2008|access-date=30 June 2021}}</ref>

In May 2021, the Board of Regents of Memorial University recommended that the institution should proceed with officially changing its name to ''Memorial University of Newfoundland and Labrador''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://gazette.mun.ca/campus-and-community/whats-in-a-name-a-lot/|title=What's in a name? A lot!|work=Memorial University Gazette|publisher=Memorial University of Newfoundland|date=13 May 2021|access-date=30 June 2021}}</ref> However, changing the university's legal name will require an act of the province's [[Newfoundland and Labrador House of Assembly|House of Assembly]], and has not yet taken effect.

In September 2019, the Memorial University Senate voted unanimously to create a degree-granting campus in Labrador.<ref>{{Cite news |date=24 July 2020 |title=MUN creates Labrador campus to grant university degrees in Happy Valley-Goose Bay |publisher=CBC News |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/mun-labrador-campus-1.5660361 |access-date=15 February 2023}}</ref> Memorial University subsequently established the School of Arctic and Sub-Arctic Studies in 2020. A campus in [[Happy Valley-Goose Bay]] (renovated from the former provincial courthouse on Hamilton River Road) was expected to offer courses in fall 2022.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Atter |first=Heidi |date=27 February 2022 |title=Memorial University expanding to create Labrador campus in Happy Valley-Goose Bay |publisher=CBC News |url=https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/memorial-university-labrador-campus-1.6323219 |access-date=15 February 2023}}</ref>

In October 2023, a report by the Auditor-General found several concerns with the University's operations and expenses.<ref>{{Cite news |date=2023-10-23 |title=Auditor-General flags high salaries, lavish spending at Newfoundland's Memorial University |language=en-CA |work=The Globe and Mail |url=https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-auditor-general-flags-high-salaries-lavish-spending-at-newfoundlands/ |access-date=2023-10-24}}</ref>
