Rob Porky threw the bait out there and you didnt disappoint him with your uninformed hatchet job.. Geeez Feel free to inform us uneducated folks what this guy does to earn $80K per year plus full benefits on the state's dime. And if you would have read the article, you would know that he drives Brescani more than they were able to verify in the open records request (112 times in 19 months) because not every time he drives him is listed on his calendar. Oh, and he drives around Ray Boyer, NDSU director of University Police as well but those numbers aren't available because it's not listed on anyone's calendar (per Ray Boyer himself). Also, it was the Forum that had the original article, not Rob Port but direct your deflections as you see fit. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
molden Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 80k doesn't sound very high. The Ohio State prez earns a million. 400 to 600k range is very common at state universities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdub27 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 It also says NDSU is planning a growth spurt and will be hiring a bunch of faculty. More tuition waivers for everybody!! Turned out really well last time the went into growth mode: "They will come and hopefully we'll get funds to build it later". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxjoy Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 http://www.vox.com/2014/12/11/7328019/north-dakota-fracking-money This website is reporting that NDSU and UND will only charge in-state tuition to all out of state students, if the legislature allows. I am curious where the author got that information. There are zero direct quotes about that particular topic. I am guessing she found some "state of the university" or "strategic planning" document. It would have to gain approval from the Board of Higher Ed first, and I haven't seen anything lately to show that a proposal has been presented. Considering there was a great bit of discussion in previous legislatures about how ND schools were educating people just to have them leave upon graduation and looking for ways to deter out-of-staters from attending (which would KILL enrollment numbers at UND and NDSU and likely other schools BTW), I am skeptical that this would come to pass. But, when dealing with the ND legislature, anything is possible, I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would fly this session, especially the way oil prices are falling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it would fly this session, especially the way oil prices are falling. I think spending money to create more high skill level jobs would do more to keep educated workers in ND than cheaper tuition ever could. If oil prices keep falling, the legislature will tighten the purse strings even more than ever, which is saying a lot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking she's going to take a little curbstomping over at Bison-swill. There's an article in the Forum today that goes something like: athletics 1, academics 0. Bville is really in a huff over the bad treatment the media is giving them. But who's fault is that? King Bresiciani and his staff. They knew before the season started that ESPN wanted a game this Friday night. But they scheduled the graduation at the Fargodome disbelieving it would nappen. Contrary to Turdville, graduation is a big event for the family of some of the grads. Parents and grandparents, who paid the bills, want to connect with that moment, as what else to they have to connect with NDSU and their kid? Changing the venue and time four days before the even is like changing the time and venue of a wedding. Travel plans had already been made. NDSU should have scheduled three separate ceremonies earlier before the semester started. Of they could have scheduled the Civic Center or Scheels, but were too cheap to do that. If its money they want to save, they could have cleaned out one of the sheep barns and held the ceremonies there. A small percentage probably had a take a final earlier than scheduled, and that might have created enough havoc among some that they will not pass the class, and therefore not technically graduate. Shame on NDSU admin. They failed the people who paid the tuition for four or five years, and they just throw up their hands. Shame on Turdville. They just jump on peoples appearances no matter what the cause and bitch among themselves how FU football doesn't get the support it needs. Hey turdville, if you had just given donations to the BSA four or five years ago, this never would have happened so its your fault that this was even an issue. But you don't make enough and you're too chintzy, wanting Fargo taxpayers to foot the bill for new basketball digs. The NCAA and ESPN rules at most colleges, but not having an admin that forsees the possible conflicts is just plain ludicrous on their part. http://www.ndsu.edu/commencement/ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Siouxphan27 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I like your idea of them using the sheep barn; picking up their degrees from North Dakota State Eweniversity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnboyND7 Posted December 19, 2014 Share Posted December 19, 2014 I've always found it to be adorable when UND folks make jokes about agriculture and NDSU. Just comes off as very strange. I digress. Should have scheduled graduation better. To the average Joe who doesn't follow stuff closely, this gives off the vibe that the football team is more important than the university.

I don't remember any outrage when they had the graduation at the BSA because of the football game. Only reason this is an issue is some lady from Minot is mad. Besides, where is the football team supposed to play? Half my friends are graduating today. Not a single one has complained about where they will graduate. In fact, they all get to have a much shorter graduation now. Can't imagine students being upset about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main complaint is it's going to be in a smaller building where not all family members will find seating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
