A government watchdog nonprofit trying to obtain a report detailing an investigation into a number of alleged crimes at Haskell Indian Nations University filed suit Friday in Washington, D.C., against the federal agency that oversees Haskell.
Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility — a nonprofit agency that, in part, assists public employees in fighting for accountability and transparency in government actions — filed a Freedom of Information Act request with the Bureau of Indian Education in April. That request was prompted by the Journal-World’s coverage of demands by Haskell students to publicize a report of a six-month investigation that students claim took place on campus during 2022 and purportedly looked into allegations of sexual abuse, embezzlement and other wrongdoing.
