The Sicatoka Posted April 28, 2017 Share Posted April 28, 2017 Given the impact this group has on UND, I'm surprised this thread hasn't existed before now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 Anyone know which buildings they got approval to take down? KFGO reported that 5 of the 8 were values under $250k and tearing down these (unused eyesores?) would save a million dollars annually from the operations budget.

The Sicatoka Posted April 28, 2017 Author Share Posted April 28, 2017 To my eye, everything south of 320 Cambridge from Cambridge to Hamline disappears. Seems like primo real estate on University across from the Union. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sigma Nu just got completely gutted down to the studs and renovated. It was almost condemned a few years ago. They used to be at the old white house, though, so it's kind of getting tore down.

I lived at the ATO house for a couple years which was right across the street from the Valley Dairy in the alley. The "official" nickname for this location was "The Sweat" due to all the letters in the Sweetheart Bread sign being burned out except SWE T. This is also the location where "jesus" usually worked.

The Sicatoka Posted May 15, 2017 Author Share Posted May 15, 2017 Gov Burgum just replaced the student member of the board (an NDSU) student with another NDSU student. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4267245-burgum-appoints-new-student-member-board-higher-education Where the heck is UND in getting a candidate out there to be on that board.

moser53 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 If this isn't correct let us know. After a little checking this is the info I found. To much power in the hands, no checks and balances with the Higher Ed Board. Higher Ed Board is excempt from the State Legislature and any laws they pass when it comes to ND College campus buildings. They close the door and pick the winners and losers. And there tired of going to meetings and looking people in the eye. To solve that it has been proposed maybe passed to meet thru teleconferenceis. On the big votes. #bulldoze Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doug Burgum has appointed a new student member to North Dakota's State Board of Higher Education. University of North Dakota student Kaleb Dschaak's one-year term begins July 1. Strong year for UND representation on the Board. Hopefully they can pick a solid new President who can unite the campus and continue moving forward on some of the good things Kennedy started.
