Expand It's my understanding that this fall the Parking Office is going without permit. Permits will be digital and, supposedly, there are going to be little GPS rover things patrolling the parking lots. Or that was the plan before I left; there was an email about digital permits as one point in May. I heard that institutions who use this system end up having way more parking tickets the first semester it has been implemented because it's like the wild, wild west. Quote

lawkota Posted August 2, 2016 Posted August 2, 2016 Just registered my daughter for the fall. Parking permits are virtual and tied to your plate #. You can register more than one vehicle to your permit (can't remember how many), only one on campus at a time obviously. Quote

NoiseInsideMyHead Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 No positive spin here, unfortunately. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4215118-update-620-pm-und-school-law-looks-tuition-increase-puts-pro-bono-clinic-hiatus Quote Those cuts will include no longer operating the law clinic, which provides pro bono legal service primarily in immigration and employment law fields. The clinic allows law students to get some of the hands-on credits they need to earn their juris doctorates. Rand said they would have to get creative in how students get experiential credits. ... Assistant Dean Bradley Parrish told the students they might be able to work with other regional law schools to get students clinic experience. Staff at the clinic also will be affected. When a law student asked what would become of clinical education administrative assistant Kathie Johnke, she spoke up. “After 18½ years, I have been cut to part time,” Johnke told the students. “I had five years until retirement.” ... Students asked questions for about a half-hour, many concerned about the loss of the clinic. Some first-year law students expressed feeling burned by the loss of the clinic, which they thought they’d be able to take advantage of at UND. ... “Please join me in being positive and optimistic,” Rand implored the students.

John W. Posted February 10, 2017 Posted February 10, 2017 Ranking the sports on university campuses relative to TV exposure and ratings....1) football 2) basketball...after that you'd have to ask the networks....I would guess baseball,,track and field, softball, and perhaps wrestling rank above hockey. Nationally.... Hockey probably on a par with lacrosse...and women's hockey.....would barely register....the only time the US gets excited about amateur hockey....is once every 4 years ..at Olympic time....and now the pros have taken that over.....I have a friend who teaches @ASU.....didn't know the Sun Devils had a hockey team.....and he follows their FB , BB, baseball and softball teams....so is not a sports black hole!!!!! Check out press coverage in Minnesota relative to Gopher sports....where does hockey rank ...even "in the state of......"????? 1 1 Quote
