Foundation struggles as donors and regents clash over future
The Haskell Foundation faces a no win scenario as it must raise funds while uncertain about its future. Regents call for more board influence and quicker action, but limited budgets and two yearly meetings hinder changes. The group contends a 1984 charter to fund unmet items has shifted to grant administration amid financial crisis. The recent turmoil followed executive director Gerry Burd’s resignation and a $1 million debt reveal, with FBI involvement noted.

Board seeks new foundation as regents question leadership
Regents remain wary of the foundation trustees after a series of conflicts over accounting and management. Alberta Friday calls for a complete overhaul while Postoak-Buffalomeat resigns as president but stays on the board, replaced by Raymond Goetting who urges better communication and a fresh start. Goetting, a 1933 HMU graduate, plans meetings to map a recovery strategy and raise tribal support.
