GeauxSioux Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 "The ND SBoHE took UND's ability to resolve this away by their actions" My question is why? I doubt the SBoHE stepped in without being invited in by UND. UND didn't want to face this no win situation and wanted a fall guy (ND SBoHE). But whatever, it is what it is. The whole thing is stupid anyway. PC run amuck. On this we can agree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted August 20, 2008 Share Posted August 20, 2008 "The ND SBoHE took UND's ability to resolve this away by their actions" My question is why? The ND State Board of Higher Education is the governing body that controls all state universities and colleges. They control, operate, and govern UND, NDSU, and all the rest. It was theirs to control all along. They had given that power to UND; they took their power back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way you will ever make me believe that the board wanted anything to do with this and only got into the mix by request or to protect UND from any negative PR.

No way you will ever make me believe that the board wanted anything to do with this and only got into the mix by request or to protect UND from any negative PR. And you know this how? Were you in the meetings with UND and the Higher Ed board? You also probably believe the world is flat and no one is going to make you believe different. Again, for the sake of continuing to show your complete ignorance, you should stay out of these conversations. But you probably got an A+ in your deductive reasoning course at NDSU!

If the "you" means people on this board, I doubt you'll find any of us trying to make you believe anything. You may continue uniformed and ignorant, believing whatever it is you want to believe.

Northcountry Posted August 21, 2008 Share Posted August 21, 2008 They are doing nothing now under the leadership of Reid and Pelosi so they aren't doing anything on your/my time. Who was it that was chairing the hearings on oversight of the Commodities Exchange Commission when futures speculation in oil was running amok and each barrell was being sold 4 times before finally reaching a refinery, causing the price of a gallon of gasoline to rise from $1.43 when Busch was first elected to over $4 before the "speculation bubble" was burst? Helpful hint - he is the senior senator from North Dakota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As the controversy drags on, so does the divisiveness, exhaustion and time-consuming distraction from our educational mission. And once again, even though almost every American Indian educational program on campus has formally asked UND to retire the name, we begin another hard year of Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Ahh, that's really sweet Sharon. Now, if you'll put down the bong and rose-colored glasses, you'll realize that simply retiring the name/logo will do little to bring bitter opponents together. Give it about 30-40 years or so.

GeauxSioux Posted August 22, 2008 Author Share Posted August 22, 2008 Logo debate is over; why keep at it?Why would they sit down and talk about something insulting and inaccurate, something that every significant mental health board has declared is harmful and should be retired?

She is a college professor she isn't expected to, it is the old myth that I said it is true so there fore I am right. Anyone that challenges her in her class room will pay.

Chief Illiniwek Supporter Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 Actually, you have no right to not be insulted.Hope one of the neighbors says the color of his house is insulting, and demands that he repaint it. After all, what right does he have to tell the neighbor not to be insulted? From the article... But, their support is based on being subjected to the largest system of institutional racism in this nation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottM Posted August 22, 2008 Share Posted August 22, 2008 It should be noted that the Sports Illustrated poll has been roundly dismissed as being faulty and obviously made up. "Dismissed" by whom, Louis? Clyde Bellecourt, Russell Means, "Dr." Stephanie, John Hoff and the rest of that half-baked brain trust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
