Re-open California's only tribal college, D-Q University
D-Q
University was occupied in 1970, becoming the first inter-tribal
collaboration which addressed the lack of structural unity among First
Nations of North America. It opened its doors with a purpose to serve
all indigenous peoples of the Western Hemisphere. D-Q is a place for
international peace, wisdom and understanding. It is here that we can
preserve and share with the World our cultures, traditions and
heritage, without interference or dominance from the Western Colonial
Establishment.
With 643 acres of land, D-Q U provides one of the few
spaces in North America for all tribes to bring and share their
ceremonies. Indigenous Perma culture (ancient traditional native
farming), renewable energy such as bio-diesel fuels, solar technology,
wind power, along with land and animal restoration are key components
of the mission of D-Q University. Due to growing world wars, a black
hole economy, and unprecedented environmental disasters, we as Natives,
have taken initiative in confronting assimilation and absorption of
Western policies.
Over the years D-Q U has been the victim of
embezzlement, fraud, and abuse from the corrupted Board of Trustees
while the youth bear the burden of consequences. Direct action must be
taken against the Board of Trustees to be held accountable for their
crimes.
Since 2005, D-Q University's Board of Trustees have
failed to hold a structure that can deliver progressive results towards
maintaining any place of education. They annually receive $52,000 from
a land lease agreement from the Yolo County Board of Supervisor's
Chairman Duane Chamberlain. While serving as Board members, under their
"leadership" the campus has now been condemned and is currently a fire
hazard being overgrown with dry brush with no water or electricity.
Due
to the fact that the members of the Board have proven their lack of
knowledge, skills and abilities to run a university, as well as its
long list of failing the school by losing its accreditation from the
Western Association of Schools and Colleges, spending endowment money
meant for student scholarships, doing nothing to hire teachers and
re-start classes, losing federal funding and not applying to get it
back, and not securing student records, library holdings, and
collections of the university, this Board has repeatedly demonstrated
incompetence to the point of malfeasance. Individual board members have
unlawfully exercised powers, committed fraud, abused the community and
the students that the university was intended to serve, and
misappropriated and converted funds donated for the use of the
university to their own personal use.
We, the people, are
asking Jerry Brown, Attorney General for the State of California, to
dismiss the current D-QU Board of Trustees and appoint, with the
support of the community, a new Board of Trustees, one that is properly
educated and motivated to reopen D-Q U.
We further request that
Attorney General Brown act in support of the Quo Warranto Complaint
filed in California Superior Court for Yolo County seeking redress in
these matters.
We Encourage The Indigenous Community To Demand
Attorney General Edmund G. Brown, Jr name a new competent Board of
Trustees for D-Q University. Please Write & or Call Attorney
General Edmund G. Brown, Jr and Voice Your Concern For The One &
Only Tribal College In California DQ-University.
