Bureau of Indian Education Dressed Down in Senate Hearing

Every two years, the Government Accountability Office, the federal watchdog, releases a new “high-risk” list of federal programs that are vulnerable to “fraud, waste, abuse, and mismanagement, or are most in need of transformation.”

This year, that list includes the federal government’s management of Indian education, primarily its mismanagement of spending and facilities. The Bureau of Indian Education runs 183 schools that educate some 48,000 students on reservations in multiple states.
