Especially when they don't have a NCAA eligibility limit. Are you counting having an interim president for 6 months as a bad thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if I'm wrong, subtract the 491k from Hitt's salary and look where he's at. Having said that, my gut says he doesn't get the job. The previous President made around 500K base salary, but there were bonuses down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siouxjoy Posted March 9, 2018 Share Posted March 9, 2018 Sent in an email to all of UND: Statement from UND President Mark Kennedy I acknowledge the anxiety that my pursuit of the role as President of the University of Central Florida (UCF) caused many in the University of North Dakota Community. As one of the largest and best universities in the nation, UCF represented a rare opportunity which I felt compelled to respond to their invitation to pursue. With UCF making a decision to select another candidate, please know that Debbie and I will continue to work hard for the benefit of UND with the passion for its success and love for the state and its people that we have demonstrated since our arrival. I am committed to working with the UND Team to implement our OneUND Strategic Plan to deliver ever more opportunity for our state and students.
