LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) _ Students at Haskell Indian Nations University will pay more student fees next year as the school seeks increased revenue to boost services on campus.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports that Haskell's regents on Wednesday approved a one-time fee increase from the current $265 to $700 in the fall. The increase was requested by members of Haskell's Student Senate.
Haskell is a federal university that is managed through the Bureau of Indian Education and governed by a board of regents.
University leaders say the additional fees will help operations after federal budget cuts in 2013. President Venida Chenault said several staff positions were left vacant because of the cuts.
