Chewey Posted June 29, 2007 Share Posted June 29, 2007 What is the makeup of the so-called selection committee? Are a lot of them or all of them PC rods? Any information on these people? It would be just fine if, like someone else indicated, they got Archie Fool Bear on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted June 30, 2007 Author Share Posted June 30, 2007 President of United Tribes Upbeat About Prospect of American Indian Committee Member for UND The state Board of Higher Education is to meet by conference call Tuesday to discuss the issue. "If the entire board votes in agreement during the special meeting on July 3, it will restore faith in the prospect that the board works on behalf of all citizens of the state," Gipp said in a statement this week. Gipp said the North Dakota Indian Affairs Commission unanimously approved a resolution last week urging the board to reconsider its earlier decision not to have an Indian member of the search committee. The resolution was sent to Gov. John Hoeven, Gipp said. So only a unanimous vote by the board will restore your faith? It's hard enough just to get people to agree on what time to have lunch. Be satisfied if you get an American Indian on the search committee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

star2city Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I am thinking that a PhD is needed, to ensure acceptance from the academia. I read that most university administrators that don't come from faculty ranks are considered "outsiders" by the university faculty they serve. Truth be told, I can see some of that perspective. It reminds me of a friend that worked at a retail store for many years and had a supervisor hired that had never worked at that store or at any similar stores. This new hire didn't really understand the details of how the store operated and simply frustrated his staff. *shrugs shoulders* Perhaps the most acclaimed president in UND's history, Thomas Clifford, "managed" with only an MBA. There's been a number of precedents for former politicians/statesmen to enter academia at a President's level without a PhD: former Oklahoma Senator David Boren at OU.

I agree with you and with the logic that a good leader is a good leader regardless of the degree they hold, but I just have a feeling that the politics involved with hiring a position as high profile as university president (pleasing all stakeholders, particularly academia) will win over any logical selections. At least that's what I have seen in the last seven years of working within higher education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeauxSioux Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 Board to decide on adding to committee The State Board of Higher Education meets today to settle an ongoing debate over whether the University of North Dakota's presidential search committee should include an American Indian member. There's little indication of what the board will decide, but it's already clear that a few members are approaching today's meeting with differing viewpoints.Those details remain in the dark. Paulsen said he has a specific American Indian in mind to fill the board seat but won't reveal his or her name until today's meeting. Gipp, who was consulted about the choice, also declined to talk about who might be chosen. He said only that the person needed to have a good understanding of both North Dakota tribes and higher education. "This will give us a qualified American Indian asking the questions about American Indian issues in this process," Gipp said. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimdahl Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Cynthia Lindquist Mala http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=170760 I shouldn't have missed that one. Gipp was actually my secret most likely pick (faux odds aside) because of his ND education ties (see Paulsen's not-so-subtle hint) -- I should have kept digging, but it was a hurry-up job to get in my G.K. prediction on time.
