But the celebration in Lawrence, Kan., where the man who invented the sport worked for decades, was nevertheless astonishing: Officially, Haskell\u2019s coach, Adam Strom, was only a volunteer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He had been fired 16 days earlier, swept up in an executive order that led Haskell to oust about a quarter of its workers on a Friday in February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The only other federally run college for Native people, Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute in Albuquerque, also laid off a similar share of workers that day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">More than 140 years after the United States first used the grounds in Lawrence as a boarding school to assimilate Native children, Haskell students feel that the federal government, which controls the university, has once again become a malevolent force upending lives.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The student government association president said three of her five instructors had been dismissed. Rumors had swirled over whether enough dining hall workers were left to serve meals. A senior had wondered whether the university, a sanctum for Native American students shaped by tradition and tragedy, would remain open long enough for him to receive his degree.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As other potential policy changes loom, students, leaders and experts fear that the federal system for educating Native Americans \u2014 which serves tens of thousands of students at Haskell and beyond, and which already has some of the worst outcomes in the United States \u2014 is lurching into a new phase of crisis.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In President Trump\u2019s Washington, firings across the federal government have been billed as an \u201coptimization\u201d of the bureaucracy. But on Haskell\u2019s campus, where at least 103 people are buried, the seemingly indiscriminate budget cuts represent another breach of the government\u2019s vows to Native Americans.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe\u2019re not necessarily repeating the history of the school; it\u2019s just continuing in our own modern way,\u201d said J\u2019Den Nichols, a member of the Northern Cheyenne Tribe of Montana who is majoring in American Indian studies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">As she spoke, less than a week before the conference championship game, a tepee stood near the student union in response to the cuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe only bring that up in times of ceremony, or in times like now, where we are either mourning or attacked by others,\u201d Tyler Moore, the senior and a citizen of the Cherokee Nation, said of the tepee.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Haskell\u2019s president, Francis Arpan, referred an interview request to the Bureau of Indian Education, which declined to make any federal officials available. A spokesperson for the Interior Department, which includes the bureau, said in a one-sentence statement that the department \u201creaffirms its unwavering commitment to the American public while practicing diligent fiscal responsibility.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although the administration\u2019s quest to reduce federal spending has led campus officials across the country to weigh layoffs, hiring freezes and other steps, schools like Haskell are particularly vulnerable to disruptions since they are directly run by the government. And perhaps no education system in the United States is as familiar with upheaval and shattered promises than the one that provides federal schools for Native students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Almost a century after a major federal report about conditions for Native Americans warned that \u201ccheapness in education is expensive\u201d because thriftiness in schools could deepen future societal problems, witnesses repeatedly told Congress in written testimony last week that the federal system for teaching Native people suffered from \u201cchronic underfunding.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About 45,000 children are enrolled in bureau-funded schools in 23 states, their options fashioned by court cases, laws and treaties. In addition to operating Haskell and SIPI \u2014 as the small college of about 200 in Albuquerque is known \u2014 the government financially supports tribal colleges and universities that are run independently.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Although some measures of student success are improving, the high school graduation rate for Bureau of Indian Education schools regularly lags the nation\u2019s. In the 2020-21 school year, standardized tests showed that roughly one in 10 assessed students were proficient in math, and about 17 percent were proficient in language arts, according to the bureau.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The system\u2019s colleges are also troubled. The most recently reported six-year graduation rate at Haskell was 43 percent; the national rate is usually around 62 percent. Dr. Arpan, congressional aides noted before a hearing last summer, was Haskell\u2019s eighth president in six years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And a 2023 Interior Department report, which emerged last year after the watchdog group Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility sued to obtain a redacted copy, depicted Haskell as \u201cseverely dysfunctional.\u201d The report concluded, in part, that the university had been insufficiently attentive to accusations of sexual assault, housed an athletic department \u201cin disarray\u201d and used adjunct instructors \u201cinappropriately&#8221; while federal employees worked beyond their job descriptions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Last December, some congressional Republicans floated a new governance structure for Haskell that has drawn mixed reviews on campus and not yet cleared Capitol Hill.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Despite their university\u2019s problems, one student after another said that Haskell was one of the few places in academia where they felt their culture was honored. Shrinking the university, they argued, was more than a violation of the government\u2019s promises; it was an assault on their heritages and futures.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Angel Ahtone Elizarraras, the student government president, talked of how the library offered spiritual medicine and every dorm had a smudge room. (\u201cIf you ask anyone on campus, English isn\u2019t the coolest language we know,\u201d Marina DeCora, a student who is a member of the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska, said wryly.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Students frequently used the word \u201cfamily\u201d to describe the community at Haskell, where they pay some fees but no tuition. This semester, the <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/haskell.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Spring-2025-Enrollment-Summary-02-26-24-Final.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">university reported<\/a> an enrollment of 918 students representing 153 tribal nations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Shiannah Horned Eagle, a member of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe of South Dakota who is a social work student, said she started out at another college, but found it \u201cisolating.\u201d She found solace at Haskell \u2014 and then learned of the cuts when an instructor told the class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cBasically, they just told us they got fired and that they don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen to the classes,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ms. Ahtone Elizarraras was preparing for a Valentine\u2019s Day dance when she heard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAs a Native, as you\u2019re at this school, you kind of read through the books, and it prepares you for moments like this,\u201d said Ms. Ahtone Elizarraras, a citizen of the Wichita and Affiliated Tribes of Oklahoma, adding, \u201cIt makes it to where you realize, \u2018Hey, my ancestors stepped so that I could walk.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But there is also fury.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHow much more can you take?\u201d Ms. DeCora fumed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Haskell\u2019s board of regents has appealed to Washington. In letters to federal officials, the advisory board\u2019s interim president, Dalton Henry, argued that the ousted employees should be reinstated because they were fulfilling duties that were mandatory under treaties. Last week, students protested outside the Kansas Capitol.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Later in the week, Dr. Arpan told student government leaders about a reprieve that would allow ousted instructors to finish this semester as adjuncts. But that fix is, for now, only temporary.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-8\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Among the university workers who have lost jobs are a photography instructor and custodians. On the morning of Feb. 14, there were rumors among some employees about coming cuts.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then Mr. Strom, who was in his fourth season as the women\u2019s basketball coach, was summoned to the athletic director\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He figured he was in for a talking-to about sharing gym time with other teams. Instead, the athletic director told him he was out of a job.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Strom, a member of the Yakama Nation, said he had been a contractor for his first three seasons. He was only recently hired full time as a federal employee, which meant he was still in his probationary period.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-9\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI felt safe. I really did,\u201d he said, adding, \u201cI thought being an educator was important in America.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Ahniwake Rose, a Cherokee Nation citizen who is the president of the American Indian Higher Education Consortium, said that the Trump administration should reverse the firings soon. Otherwise, she warned, there could be \u201ca trickle-down effect on long-term harm to these institutions\u201d if students decided not to enroll because they feared for the universities\u2019 health.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Tribe-controlled colleges, she said, were offering to send volunteer faculty and staff members in the meantime.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Strom decided to stick around for the rest of the season and coach as a volunteer, only miles from where James Naismith, basketball\u2019s inventor, founded the University of Kansas\u2019 fabled men\u2019s team. The current Kansas coach, Bill Self, is the highest-paid college basketball coach in the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI really could paint that very ugly picture in that that coach is a white male, and I\u2019m a minority, I\u2019m a Native American,\u201d Mr. Strom said in the gym complex, where four Native star quilts flank the American flag.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-10\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">He paused.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cAt the same time, I\u2019d rather be better than bitter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Sunday, the now-volunteer coach and his team won the conference title, securing a spot in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics national championship tournament.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But instead of recruiting for next season or spending as many hours preparing for games, Mr. Strom has been searching for jobs, hoping he will find a coaching gig someplace else.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Students are also worrying about the way forward for their lives and their campus, even though events like graduation remain on track.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI know there\u2019s going to be a day where this is talked about in history books,\u201d said Mr. Moore, who was chosen as this year\u2019s Haskell Brave, one of the university\u2019s highest honors, adding, \u201cI\u2019m just sad that I\u2019m living through it today.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Catie Edmondson<!-- --> contributed reporting from Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<!-- ItShrt World News -->\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-6606220950177433\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"1882483372\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"auto\"\r\n     data-full-width-responsive=\"true\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/05\/us\/haskell-university-native-students-cuts.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The women\u2019s basketball coach stood atop a ladder on Sunday night, carefully cutting down the last of the net after<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":10608,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[2080,114,3619,1071,2798,132,113],"class_list":["post-10607","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-us","tag-colleges-and-universities","tag-donald-j","tag-lawrence-kan","tag-layoffs-and-job-reductions","tag-native-americans","tag-presidential-election-of-2024","tag-trump"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Federal Cuts Came to Native Schools.
