Financial Difficulties and Funding at D-Q University

D-Q University, located near Davis, California, was established in 1971 to provide an educational program for Native American and Chicano people. The Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW) denied D-Q University's funding proposals under the developing institutions of higher education title III program for 1974 through 1976. The University had many accountability problems involving federal funds and other matters. Those evaluating D-Q's programs had well-founded concerns and, therefore, funding denials were justified.
