Troubles mount for D-Q University in California


California's only tribal college is on the verge of collapse after losing accreditation, federal funds and nearly every student.

D-Q University was founded in 1971 to education American Indians and Hispanics. At its peak in the 1990s, more than 500 students attended the school.

But financial and management problems led to a loss of federal funds and accreditation. Supporters stood by the school and launched a rebuilding effort.

Only six students remained after the turmoil but D-Q decided to send them home indefinitely. Supporters hope to raise money to put the school back on track.
