Reporting Highlights
- Underfunded: In the 1970s, Congress committed to funding a higher education system for Indigenous communities. But annual funding today is $250 million less than what was promised.
- Crumbling Infrastructure: The lack of resources leaves campuses without money for repairs to foundations, roofs, electrical systems and water pipes.
- Outdated Academics: The colleges often lack money to update academic programs and hire enough instructors. Many are the only colleges in the area.
