SiouxVolley Posted October 12, 2015 Share Posted October 12, 2015 Well, before Kelley retires, I hope he finds us some money. How can we be short $5 million? I know, no reason to panic, but we know how many students we'll have and expenses shouldn't change much, so the budget should balance. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3858333-und-projecting-5-million-budget-shortfallThat's why Kelly and his crew tried to raise tuition much higher last spring but the students threatened to give him a vote of non confidence. Kelley backed down.The next Prez needs to fire all Kelleys minions, who suck the money up for admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I just can't believe the students will send Dr. Kelley out with a win: they're handing him his PC, inoffensive bird mascot. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Although I'd love to see Ed Schafer at UND (and I've said it for years, just ask PCM), I just don't see the faculty accepting a Republican (even a moderate R like Ed) at the helm even with an 'interim' tag.

The faculty may actually value leadership that will make tough decisions, offer consistency, and not put up with grandstanding by the Deans.

He'll get a pass because he didn't disown his married lesbian daughter who worked on the Obama campaign. That story was just in the press for a reason, just to placate the education libtards.

jdub27 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Not so fast, per the GFHerald:http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3879069-interim-und-president-will-be-schafer-or-dilorenzoThe State Board of Higher Education is expected to name one of two candidates as interim president of UND at its Tuesday meeting: former North Dakota Gov. Ed Schafer or Thomas DiLorenzo, UND provost and vice president of academic affairs.Both candidates were recommended to the board by Mark Haggerot, chancellor of the North Dakota University System, said Billie Jo Lorius, NDUS spokeswoman. She said the recommendation virtually assures one of the two men will be selected as UND's interim president and will begin leading the school following the departure of current president Robert Kelley in January Personal opinion is its a pretty easy choice...

If it's anything like the recent fiasco at the University of Iowa when they selected a new president, any faculty blowback will be couched in the fact he has "no experience" in higher ed.

If you suck at your job of teaching, sure. If you happen to have a different political persuasion than the ruling political machine, no. Look up the history of the founding of the SBoHE and you'll get what I am saying. It involved Bill Langer firing NDSU professors for political reasons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightingsioux4life Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 There you have it.Thank God for common sense. I am of the opposite political party of Schafer, but he's a good guy and a pretty moderate politician who focuses on solutions and not merely sticking it to the other side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdub27 Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 Ed gets the nod as interim president. There you have it. Very good to hear. He will be a calming presence both on and off campus during the transition, however long it takes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
