Siouxphan27 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 7 hours ago, The Sicatoka said: I'm involved in the process to hire a new leader for a significant organization in the region. I asked our headhunter about "nine interviews in a day" and "17 interviews in two days". I've never seen someone laugh so hard, ... and then say, "You're serious?" He wondered how you could get a feel for someone in just an hour, and he wondered how the interview committee could remember each candidate after about the fourth interview. He also said, "That many interviews in a day is fair neither to the candidates nor the committee. I'd never do that to a client or any of my contacts." So if the interviews wrap up today, does that mean swimsuit and talent competitions tomorrow and Thursday, followed by Steve Harvey announcing the winner on Friday? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 2 hours ago, UND1983 said: Can't a President/CEO of a company hire people who know a few things about the things he doesn't? CEO's of major companies seem to move around, mainly because they know how to run a company, not because they know the product. CEO with mainly people skills don't have the vision to take research anywhere. UND is in a critical spot in its involvement with UAVs, oil/energy, and medicine to not have someone with a vision that can see through research possibilites. We can't have a president that is just on education autopilot anymore. UND can and should be an economic driver, not just a producer of graduates. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Morgan R. Olsen also got his Masters Degree from UND. I'd have to think he's probably near the top of the list. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND-FB-FAN Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 Morgan R. Olsen, executive vice president, treasurer and CFO at Arizona State University, is my choice; however, they all seem to be worthy candidates. From an athletics standpoint, I hope the new president can appease UND stakeholders, increase fundraising, and further develop the UND athletics' budget distribution in such a way that elevates UND football and basketball to greatness. Of course, I - as well as many others - have several other investments and interests within the University that the new president will need to be competent in, as well.

Two are research; one is the money guy who knows the State. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNDBIZ Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 Obviously Schafer won't be the next UND President, but what a breath of fresh air. http://www.thedickinsonpress.com/news/north-dakota/3937721-schafer-work-together-meet-budget-challenge-und-interim-president-urges Quote Schafer said UND’s $5 million deficit, which administrators said was partially due to a legislatively mandated tuition cap, has been “solved.” He said salaries and existing programs were not cut. “We are starting now with the challenge of meeting the governor’s allotments,” Schafer said in the video. “I’m positive that we can.” Schafer said the university will be “looking hard at planned tuition increases and trying to stabilize those or drawing down those.” He also said he hopes to fully fund salary increases. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 6 hours ago, Milford torgerson said: I wish he would explain where the money was found or where cuts were made How does a school cut $25 Million in expenses in one year is a good question. That's a lot of money. $25 million in cuts they will need to do divide that by the number of students full time it comes out to: $2,400 per student. Or in other words each full time* student would need to pay an additional $2,400 per year for the University to continue to operate the way it was this (or last) year. *or $1,600 each for full and part time students.

Doesn't sound like there is much room for cuts already based on them having to cut $5 Million that was already over the budget. If you figure in the $5 Million in cuts they just enacted plus the $25 million in cuts they will need to do and divide that by the number of students full time it comes out to: $$2,900 per student. Or in other words each full time* student would need to pay an additional $2,900 per year for the University to continue to operate the way it was this (or last) year. *or $2,000 each for full and part time students.

82SiouxGuy Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 1 hour ago, UND1983 said: It's 25 million now? UND has a total budget of approximately $511,000,000. The Governor is asking for a reduction in budget of just over 4%. That would total approximately $20,000,000. If you included the original $5,000,000 shortfall that has been discussed since last spring it would total $25,000,000. However, Schafer announced on Monday that they had already taken care of the $5,000,000. So UND will have to look at finding the $20,000,000. This doesn't all come out of the general fund and tuition budget that educates the students. That budget is just under $178,000,000 (tuition alone is about $115,000,000) or just over 1/3 of the total budget. So they would need to cut about $7,000,000 out of the tuition and general fund, bringing that budget number down to around $171,000,000. The current grants and contracts budget is a little under $233,000,000 and the total budgets for the Med school and Med contracts and grants is about $101,000,000. These will also need to be reduced by about 4%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
