HASKELL INDIAN JUNIOR COLLEGE BECOMES HASKELL INDIAN NATIONS UNIVERSITY
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Earlier this month, it was announced that final approval was granted for
Haskell Indian Junior College to officially change its name to Haskell
Indian Nations University. Officials, faculty, and students feel that the
new name better reflects the goals and mission of the school, as well as
the entire native community for which it exists. The name change also marks
the beginning of planned changes in curriculum and direction that will be
implemented gradually over the coming years within this unique educational
institution.
Additional information will be posted in future; it seemed of more immediate
importance to announce the new name. -- Gaele
