- Title
TOWARD A MORE COHERENT POLICY FOR FUNDING INDIAN EDUCATION.
- Authors
ROSENFELT, DANIEL M.
- Abstract
The article reveals how the deplorable state of Amerian Indian education recognized by a U.S. Special Senate Subcommitte on Indian Education in 1969 led to the passage of the Indian Education Act (IEA) of 1972. It points out that although the Act gave Indians more autonomy in the formation and administration of their own education programs, it was not a result of careful deliberations but of partisan politics, leading to disputes on discrimination and jurisdiction over funding. The article examines selected problems regarding Indian educational policy issues based on the American Indian Policy Review Commision's 1975 report from the perspective of funding and offers suggestions on how to make federal aid programs become more effective.
