Native America Calling: Higher education for Native students at a crossroads

Higher education for Native students at a crossroads
The Donald Trump Administration is using the full force of the federal government to compel colleges and universities to do away with scholarships, recruiting, academic programs and any other initiatives that help Native students succeed.
Schools risk losing hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding in addition to defending against investigations by the Department of Justice and other agencies. At least 50 schools are facing such investigations for what the U.S. Department of Education calls “race exclusionary” practices.
Join Native America Calling to get a look at the sweeping changes the Trump Administration is bringing about and how Native education advocates are responding.
