LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — It’s an important week at Haskell Indian Nations University in Lawrence.
A team from the Higher Learning Commission will be on campus starting Monday as the school undergoes its 10-year accreditation review.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports many on campus say they are nervous but optimistic that the school will receive good marks, and they give credit to President Venida Chenault, who has led the school since January of last year.
Before her appointment, the school had gone through several acting presidents, had its athletic program put on probation and its main fundraising arm, the Haskell Foundation, was dissolved amid financial scandal.
Among other improvements, Chenault introduced a new strategic plan and the Haskell Foundation was revived last year.
