UNDBIZ

He made the decision, but not until after the IAC had their coach begathon and chose to not make a decision, and after the state cut funding an additional 5%.

President Kennedy and the State Board don't decide how the legacy fund is spent. If you want to blame the state legislature and the governor for prioritizing saving over immediate higher ed needs (without falling into politics), you're welcome to.

This is my recollection as well, but I guess everything bad at UND is now Kennedy's doing.

Oops. Misread that. Not sure on NCAA regionals.

I think REA would get to keep the concessions and 52% of ticket revenue. UND's share of ticket revenue would go to NCHC I believe.

How was Berry's "system" in 2015-16 with more skill on the team?

Sounds like a poorly colored track surface

UND is working to embrace and become part of the changing technological and higher education landscape, while maintaining a traditional presence. There is a stigma against online universities, so it's important for UND to remain a "traditional campus offering degrees online" rather than becoming a primarily online university. NDSU is hoping its campus experience can continue to draw in traditional students. NDSU will be forced by the board over the next couple years to begin offering online agriculture and other degrees for which it is the sole state provider though.

I can't imagine it's even close to breaking even on its own.

NDSU also went though a lot of budget pain in the early Bresciani years (again, mostly unreported). That did seem to set them up a little better for the 2016/17 cuts. UND's budget woes were 15 years in the making.

Budget cuts absolutely do and should matter to people. It was a tough situation and I'm sure everyone has opinions on a "better way" they could have been done.

Budgets were cut, employees were laid off, and some of those employees might post here....

At this point I'd like to see Kennedy break the REA's stranglehold on the athletic department and then leave. He has trimmed a lot of fat and set UND up with a more solid foundation with a good strategic plan for the future, but I've lost faith that he can implement that strategic plan. It'd be great if he took Shivers with him when he leaves, because that guy isn't worth 1/3 his salary

Time will tell.

In addition to raw materials, businesses like to locate where they can hire people. Finding people to work is difficult in North Dakota, particularly western ND.

Shouldn't have given him the opportunity.
