And who are "these dipshits?"
I'm assuming you are referring to Faison and Kelley? Faison's boss is Kelley. And Kelley's boss is the SBoHE. So until the SBoHE tells UND to do something different than they already have, it is Kelley and Faison's job to follow their orders. It would be very unprofessional to do otherwise.
If you are referring to the SBoHE, be careful what you wish for. Combining K-Grad school into one department of education would be one of the worst things that could happen to every level of schooling in North Dakota.
This circus is starting to have some major political ramifications.
