A leadership dispute at California's only tribal college has one group giving up hope of reopening D-Q University.

A board led by Cindy La Marr, former president of the National Indian Education Association, clashed with another led by former D-Q president Victor Gabriel. But La Marr's group decided to bow out on Sunday, saying the battle will hinder efforts to keep the school alive.

D-Q lost its accreditation and $300,000 in Bureau of Indian Affairs funding. Students weren't told until last month, leaving some with few options to continue their education. Some are still holed up in the dorms.
