Haskell Indian Nations University's board of regents has asked school president Karen Swisher to consider having the entire campus designated as National Historic Landmark, The Lawrence Journal-World reports.

Currently, 12 buildings have the status. If the entire campus is declared historic, it could help the school's case against a proposed state highway extension.

The project impacts historic wetlands at Haskell. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has signed off on the project.
