Brown named to president's board
President George W. Bush announced July 3 the appointment of Eddie F. Brown, Ph.D., associate dean for community affairs and director of the Kathryn M. Buder Center for American Indian Studies in the George Warren Brown School of Social Work, to serve as a member of the president's Board of Advisors on Tribal Colleges and Universities. Brown and the 13 other newly appointed board members will work to guide overall policy, make annual recommendations for assisting the tribal colleges in key areas, encourage public-private partnerships to benefit the tribal colleges and monitor the federal government's progress in implementing the Executive Order on Tribal Colleges and Universities. The executive order ensures that the tribal colleges are more fully recognized and have full access to federal and private programs benefiting other higher education institutions. The board also will make recommendations to the president and the secretary of education on ways the federal government and the private sector can help tribal colleges strengthen and expand their resources, programs, facilities and use of technologies.
"Tribal colleges and universities help preserve irreplaceable languages and cultural traditions," Bush said. "At the same time, of course, they offer a high-quality college education to thousands of students, and provide much-needed job training and other means of economic development in Indian country."
