Haskell Indian Nation University President Linda Sue Warner’s ambitious plans for the campus, and the proposed fee hike to finance them, have been met with strong opposition.

“They come here with a lot of baggage,'' said registrar Manny King, a mentor to many students. “Alcoholism, single parents, drug use, high poverty, really no direction and no support.''

Freda Gipp, a Warner assistant and Haskell parent, said the debate over tuition is simply a sign of growing pains, not dysfunction: “Even though we've been around for 125 years, it's still early in the game for us as a college.''
