YANKTON, S.D.(WNAX)- Public universities have been struggling with defining diversity and opportunity, especially for minority students.

Private schools don’t have those same issues.

Long says there are advantages to being a faith based university.

Long says they have found a great way for outreach and inclusion is through their sports programs.
