Has it been answered how the board members of the REA are chosen? I think the simple answer is to keep it ran by a board separate from UND, but not have her on the board. If you aren't a supporter of UND, you shouldn't be on the REA board. Also, as great as Hodgson may be for the REA, it seems to me he is the one causing a lot of the problems here (via McGarry). If he is unwilling to support UND, he can go elsewhere too.
