The legal and historical developments leading to the tuition-free waivers for American Indians at Fort Lewis College, Colorado, along with such topics as the 1970 change in policy and the decision to limit Indian tuition waivers, are discussed in the 1971 report submitted to the Colorado General Assembly by the Committee on Indian Enrollment Problems, appointed in 1970 by the Legislative Council. The State Board of Agriculture and the college administration actions to limit Indian tuition-free waivers had aroused opposition by Indian students and Indian organizations. However, the committee found that tuition-free admission of Indians was on a collision course with the budgetary limitations set by the General Assembly. The committee examined the moral and legal obligations of the state and recommended House Bill 1452, which, while attempting to resolve questions concerning legal obligations, recommends continuation of the special program of Indian education. The committee also recommended tuition policies for resident and nonresident Indians and suggested possibilities for seeking outside funding. Appendixes include historical legal documents concerning Fort Lewis College and the Colorado Attorney General's legal opinion concerning state law and Fort Lewis College. (FF)
