That would be an excellent choice. Even if he doesn't have 5 previous years of Division I experience.

I think they knew what you meant to begin with, but just couldn't resist the temptation to be a smart-mouth about it. I think Jones is basically working to earn another contract extension. Otherwise, it's good-bye Grand Forks for him.

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.

Was Ralph Engelstad ever appointed President of UND? Or the leader of the UND Alumni Association? No.

They are both not preferable. They are both unacceptable.

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.

No, but at least they aren't giving jobs to the highest bidder. Which is what you suggested.

How about making him the new President? Sorry, this isn't a monarchy.

Who has said their opinions should count more? Not me. Everyone gets one vote and that is how it should be. The eligible voting pool is one thing they haven't screwed up during this whole charade.

I have read what you have written and it's pure, unadulterated B.S. So voting rights should be tied to $$$ donations? Then all we would have to do is use the Champions Club priority list to determine voting rights. But that would make this process even more elitist than it already is.

That is a product of the sad state of the FB program until this year. And that won't change overnight. From 2001-05, the student section was rocking.

Please don't confuse longevity with value. Some couples stay together for financial and/or parental reasons, not because they are happy with each other.

Logic? What logic? That current students haven't lived on earth long enough to be considered important on this issue? I stand by all the statements I have made.

No, you choose to make %&*! up as you go.

So you are calling for a minimum age for voting? Is 30 old enough for you?

You have just illustrated why tenure is necessary, to prevent political firings. That is why the SBoHE exists in the first place.

Then please provide them. Oh, that's right, you are really just assuming you know.

And you know this how?

Yes, it is unreasonable. And the bolded part above was totally unnecessary and uncalled for. 1) We all were "snot-nosed 20 year olds" at one point and 2) I like the students better than I do a lot of the bureaucrats I have to deal with around here. Believe that.

I disagree, the atmosphere would be electric.

It will probably sound a lot like this:

I know it's pure guessing, it's not like I am putting money on this.

Anybody but that Kelley handmaiden Thomas DiLorenzo.

You probably will make more progress banging your head against a wall.

Either that or they'll boycott the final vote. I think a lot of the Nodaks people hate Fighting Hawks more than Roughriders. Those that hate both equally will boycott.
