Faison, in the main, might be OK as an administrator. He is definitely not a dynamic speaker, outward individual, or hard charger type personality. That is something UND needs right now. His biggest baggage might be the man who hired him, ROK. ROK has turned into a very liberal, politically correct hatchet man who, IMO, does not represent North Dakota core values. That would entail a sense of fair play, not jumping to rash conclusions, and being accessible to the average citizen on the street. He seems to be retreating to his ivory tower in Twamley Hall and forgetting from whence he came.
It sadly happens all the time and IMO was the same character flaw that led to Chapman's downfall at NDSU. I remember hearing Coach Dale Brown say many years ago that if you forget where you came from you will never get to where you want to go. I believe ROK is forgetting his roots.
