Was a Haskell Indian Nations University employee ordered to leave campus?
Advertisement
Statistically domestic violence calls are one of the most dangerous calls police can receive.
Therefore we must ask the following questions:
Was a new Haskell Indian Nations University residential employee given orders by his boss Thomas Spottedhorse to escort an off campus student to her apartment because she feared her boyfriend might cause her harm while she tried to collect some of her belongings?
Can a Haskell Indian Nations University employee who is a federal employee leave their station? In this case the largest dorm on Haskell’s campus to accompany one student to her resident ?
Did the employee take her in his own vehicle? Or a federal vehicle? Is either of these two things legal? What if a questionable situation would have happened between the female student and the male employee?
What would have happened if violence would have unfolded?
Whose responsibility would that have been?
Was the Lawrence Police Department called to help in this situation?
How can parents and tribes feel safe about sending their kids to Haskell when residential staff are being pulled from their post and sent off campus?
We are thinking maybe some of them don’t with Haskell’s current enrollment sitting very low at around 830 students?
Has the Haskell’s president’s office been informed of what happened?
Last year the notice below was put out by Thomas Spottedhorse was it followed in this situation?
"Memo" written by Tom Spotted Horse Supervisory College Residence Asst. Dated October 3, 2010. A REMINDER: When ever the Lawrence Police Dept. is called to the campus you need to inform the President’s Office of the situation. Sometimes a student may call the police themselves. If you do not know the reason(s) why the police is on the campus, please inquire as to the circumstances. If the Presidents Office is closed, send an email right away before you shift is over and give an assessment of the event. Remember to “cc” the email sent to the VP of Student Affairs, Mr. Tucker and myself. If it is a critical incident, a Critical Incident Form needs to be completed and signed. This is also for medical emergencies and for responses by the Fire Dept. Anytime a student is transported to the emergency room a Medical Emergency Form needs to be filled out and completed for review. I CANNOT STRESS how important this is. If your office does not have the forms, get one from another building. However, every office should have these forms.
Thank you,
Tom Spotted Horse, Supervisory College Residence Asst.

All types of things go on at Haskell and its time for it to stop. They could begin with getting rid of a lot of the Haskell staff (my wife agrees) it's time to start firing people. The supervisor in this case would be a good start. My wife and were betting this would happen....that Haskell would get worse after Dr. Warner left and it has. Haskellnews keep checking your e-mails we have some more news for you. And one question was this the same supervisor who was suppose to work for an employee last year who was having dental surgery and then did not show up and a female student was raped in the dorm, while no staff was there????? Maybe we have this person mixed up with someone else? Or maybe we don't? Does anyone know?
