Haskell Indian Nations University, our smaller neighbor to the southeast, opened in 1884. The first class was comprised of only 22 students, but in one semester's time grew to over 400. That is just under half their current enrollment.

Kansas drafts new anti-abortion laws
PoliticalFiber.com
Kansas has drawn national attention for being one of the key battleground states for abortion and reproductive rights. The battle in the state legislature over abortion could spill into areas of family planning and contraception as more restrictive legislation is drafted and voted on this session.
Anti-abortion leaders in the Republican-controlled Legislature have said they plan to strengthen legal protection for physicians and other health care professionals who do not want to participate in abortions.
There has also been discussion of trying to prohibit abortion after the first detectable fetal heartbeat, or banning abortion altogether through a "personhood" clause, asserting that life begins when an
egg is fertilized.
This all comes on the heels of drastic changes during last year's legislative session as well. Kansas legislators passed very restrictive laws regulating abortion clinics and late-term abortion, and restricted private insurance coverage of abortions. Legislators also attempted to prevent the state from giving federal family planning money to Planned Parenthood for non-abortion services, but a federal judge ordered the state to fund Planned Parenthood clinics.
