They did give UND an extra $2 million in 2019 to get the law school on track. What was the reason for that? Accreditation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They dutifully nodded along, then asked, "Mediation, I get that, but what's the Century Code? Where do I find that?" @PCM had to talk me down after that one and explain that most reporters in this region are fresh-out-of-school clueless college kids. There are exceptions; Tu-Uyen Tran was one; he was exceptional from the start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And after the gutting of the UND School of Journalism, most aren't from ND anymore, so good luck having any local knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frozen4sioux Posted May 4, 2023 Share Posted May 4, 2023 Pretty rare that once these hires are established they willingly relinquish their "need" Much more likely they just continue to find ways to evolve the focus to keep the grift going. I need to find ways to be compensated for the perception of the past in today's worldview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted September 25, 2023 Share Posted September 25, 2023 NDSU can't catch a break: - enrollment down again (down 290 this fall 2023) - now a discrimination allegation and another (female, vice provost) firing questioned by the faculty Quote Erin Gillam, a biological sciences professor, said the termination is an example of why this administration and the previous one do not have a good record for treatment of female administrators. But regarding the firing of Bilen-Green ... was it with cause ... Quote Matthew Hammer, an assistant attorney general working on NDSU’s behalf, went so far as to say in a memo to President David Cook that the office led by Bilen-Green “is purposely misleading you.” Dr. Cook has another mess (budgets, now this) to clean up and he's been there barely a year. I almost feel sorry for the guy ... almost. https://www.inforum.com/news/fargo/ndsu-documents-praise-ousted-female-vice-provost-but-also-criticize-her-handling-of-discrimination-case 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 You know it's really bad when NDSU's PR wing (ForumComm) is actually reporting on a real news story that is not good for NDSU. https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/north-dakota/current-former-ndsu-employees-allege-pattern-of-unequal-treatment-of-female-administrators It's like these guys (Bresciani, then Bertolini, then Cook) are trying to "hold my beer" one up each other on questionable (horrible PR) moves.

Done three times over (Bresciani, Bertolini, Cook). And giving a golden parachute to Bresciani just adds to the terrible look of the matter. Bresciani should walk away. He got what he really wanted: a sugar mama. You remember the one: the NDSU Foundation board member (conflict of interest?) whose email he used to avoid FOIA requests.

The Sicatoka Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Will the State Board of Higher Ed look into this? Getting noticed in "Inside Higher Ed" like this hurts NDSU and the whole NDUS system. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty-issues/diversity-equity/2023/10/02/ndsu-firing-reopens-old-wound-regarding-treatment https://www.inforum.com/opinion/letters/letter-ndsus-dismissal-of-bilen-green-follows-a-pattern-of-poor-treatment-of-women Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
