Supporters of D-Q University are worried that California's only tribal college will lose 600 acres of federal land.

The deed says the land must be used to maintain D-Q as an educational institution. But with no students, no classes and the campus overrun by weeds, that is a tough task.

"We could lose (the land) at any minute," Steve Jerome-Wyatt of the group Remembering Education at D-Q University told The Daily Democrat.

Jerome-Wyatt and other supporters want to keep the school alive. They say former interim president Art Apodaca made D-Q's financial and management problems worse by hiring family and bringing in phantom students.
