Haskell Indian Nations University President Chris Redman Looking to Future: The new president of Haskell Indian Nations University said it's time to move on from recent unrest and dissension at the school and instead focus on providing more opportunities for its students.
Chris Redman, who has been on Lawrence campus since July 6, said he believes student and faculty dissension and questions about the university's administration have died down.
'I think it's more the exception now than the rule,' he said. 'I'm very persistent about employees learning how to reach across those issues and being willing to disagree with each other and get the job done.'
The university's last president was Linda Warner, who was a target of heavy criticism before being sent in September 2009 to new jobs in Arizona and Oklahoma. Five interim presidents have run the school since then, including two terms by Redman.
