Nope.

…. who is gifted the vast majority of its annual federal research haul in the form of non-competitive ag extension funding by virtue of being the designated land-grant institution for North Dakota. That’s the part that no one says out loud. Yes, UND has the medical school but most of its (med school) federal research funding is funding that needs to be competed for. The difference in the amount of non-comp federal funding that each of North Dakota’s research institutions receive is really night/day. What UND has finally been able to do should not be poo-pooed in any way given the playing field.

SBHE on campus today for regular meeting. I have not seen official yet but hearing good things. Third highest official enrollment all time. Just over 15K

You're the eff'n best, gueax. My thoughts exactly.

But, boy, could he sling it.

Haven’t seen FTE projections yet. Some of that granular data will be recorded dashboards in the coming weeks. I will keep an eye out. EDIT: With the surge in new freshmen (+428/ +29%) for fist day 2024, I would imagine a nice bump on FTE. UND’s first day headcount is already 550 students more than census day official count last year. This year’s first day head count would rank 5th highest all time at UND. Highest was 15,250 in 2012, if memory serves.

First day 2024 = 14,724 + 863 or 6.23% over First day 2023 Last year UND gained 300+ between first day and fourth week census day.

Only UND. The news will be good for us. No clue on anyone else. The President has been saying, as one single metric, that there are 400 more new freshman on campus compared to last year. We also had an 83% retention rate from fall 22 to fall 23 -- the highest ever recorded in NDUS history, and a 94% retention from fall 23 to spring 24. People just simply want to be a part of UND right now. Here is his State of the University Address from last Thursday. He talks enrollment starting at the 12:20 mark.

This is what the email said from UND a couple weeks back: We have a limited number of tickets that we are selling in a block so all UND fans can be together. They are located in Section 41, if we fill that, we will move to sections H and J. All tickets are $75 + fees. My crew is a party of 13. We got ours earlier this summer. I heard there will be a healthy contingent of UND fans in Ames over Labor Day weekend.

Plus Welcome Weekend at UND, a marathon in town, and Downtown Street Fair.

Give him time. He’ll be a good one. He should be in line to get at least 4 games this season.

They haven’t named anyone yet.
