Legal group challenges Indian teacher program
Thursday, February 12, 2004
A conservative legal group that Interior Secretary Gale Norton used to work for is challenging Indian teacher training programs at four universities. William Perry Pendley, president and chief legal officer of the Denver-based Mountain States Legal Foundation (http://www.mountainstateslegal.org), said the programs violate the U.S. Constitution. He told The Salt Lake Tribune his argument is based on two affirmative action cases recently decided by the U.S. Supreme Court. Pendley wrote letters to the University of Utah, California's Humboldt State University, Montana State University and the University of Oregon. Get the Story:
