0016|       WHEREAS, the Navajo community college in Shiprock consists
    |
0017|     of one 1952 barracks building and several trailers and portable
    |
0018|     classrooms; and

0019|       WHEREAS, this meager facility is woefully inadequate to

    |
0021|       WHEREAS, faculty members must commute from Farmington, New
    |
0022|     Mexico and Cortez, Colorado due to the inadequate facilities on

0024|       WHEREAS, the current enrollment of approximately five

    |
0002|       WHEREAS, the college-age community of the eastern Navajo

    |
0005|       WHEREAS, the Shiprock campus of the Navajo community
    |
0006|     college desperately needs adequate facilities for classrooms,
    |
0007|     laboratories, faculty and administrative offices and a gymnasium
    |
0008|     and auditorium; and
    |
0009|       WHEREAS, the Navajo community college in Shiprock has had
    |
0010|     land for a full college campus withdrawn from the tribe's trust
    |
0011|     lands; and
    |
0012|       WHEREAS, the Navajo community college has no funds for
    |
0013|     additional construction or teaching equipment or faculty
    |
0014|     salaries; 
    |
0015|       NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE
