Haskell, already underfunded, faces budget cut


The budget at Haskell Indian Nations University will be cut by $600,000, prompting Rep. Dennis Moore (D-Kansas) and Haskell officials to speak out.

The Bureau of Indian Affairs has warned the the school of a $600,000 cut next year. That's about 6.5 percent of Haskell's $9.1 million budget.

Haskell hasn't seen a budget increase in four years amid rising enrollment and rising costs.
