UND's transition is just beginning, so I don't think you could characterize it as a train wreck. I'll bet if you look back at NDSU's first year in transition it wouldn't be all roses. There will be some bumps along the road, but UND will get there.
Do you really think it is the "fan base" behind 4-5 people in the legislature putting forth a bill? Many of us on this board think the legislature just butt out and do it's job.
I don't understand people who use the "flame away" at the end of their posts. Do you want people to get angry with what you posted? I just take read your posts and try to imagine life through urine colored glasses and shrug my shoulders. Move along little doggie.
