A coalition of Native American tribes and students has initiated a lawsuit against the Trump administration following significant layoffs of federal staff at Native American colleges. Approximately 25% of the workforce was let go at Haskell Indian Nations University and Southwestern Indian Polytechnic Institute, resulting in numerous course losses and deteriorating educational conditions. The firings, part of a broader trend affecting federal jobs, raised concerns about student welfare as living conditions worsened. Advocates argue that these actions reflect a broader pattern of neglect towards Native education.
These firings were done without preparation and without regard to the health and safety of the students, which is a continuation of a history of neglect and disrespect.
Dozens of courses at the two colleges lost instructors, leading to an immediate decline in the quality of education for students.
