Oh yeah and he's a multimillionaire. The old Sicatoka use to talk about arguing the points and not the author. One his his favorite phrases was: ad hominem. Quote

That depends. --- How many presidents across the country refused to participate for the Central Florida U job before president Kennedy jumped. Also worthy of note, one president pursuing that presidential job is no longer a president. Quote

Popular Post ArchyAlum11 Posted April 19, 2018 Popular Post Posted April 19, 2018 Doesn't surprise me that a lot of the faculty hate Kennedy, too many of the Liberal Arts and Social Science faculty are so leftist that they hate anyone to the right marxism. I once when into a professor's office in the English Department, she had a picture of Karl Marx, like some Catholics have pictures of Jesus or people in North Korea have pictures of the Kim's. 5 Quote

Watch that president's UCF interview and compare it to Kennedy's. 2 completely different scenarios, as that president made it very clear he disliked living in the midwest and wanted out. 1 Quote

Not real uncommon for there to be some displeasure when there is a management change at any company. People hate change by nature. These same people were likely not happy since Kelly left. What is different here is these employees feel it’s best to air their heartburn in the local paper. Quote

I've personally worked with Hesham and can say he is one of the brightest, most pleasant people to have in one's presence. This would be a big blow to our campus. One question that I'm taking away, though, is why Peter Johnson can't UNofficially leave his post. He was the Sean Spicer of UND. Quote
jdub27 Posted May 15, 2018 Posted May 15, 2018 Well at least the Herald finally put their grudge out into the open. At least the bias they have in their articles going forward will be able to be pointed out and expect the majority of the coverage going forward to reflect this negative stance. Quote Turning to other topics, but sticking to the subject of UND, here's a brief excerpt from this column published on March 15, 2016. The headline was "Assessing the field in UND's presidential race." "There might be an issue of arrogance. ... Kennedy used the honorable in his title. As a former member of Congress, he's entitled, but it felt a little fancy. Both board and legislators are leery of egoism. That's what derailed a former chancellor and a former NDSU president. ..." By now, it's clear that Kennedy's arrogance has derailed his own presidency and now threatens UND. Kris Engelstad McCarry's interview with the Herald last week is more evidence of that. Sure, she's had issues with previous presidents about handling of her family's extraordinary generosity to UND, but this is the first time she's felt the need to raise the issue publicly. The university system office responded to her unhappiness by saying that it's an issue between her and UND, but the Board of Higher Education can't ignore the damage Kennedy's arrogance has done, not least among legislators. Ducking the issue will discredit the board — just when that governance of the system is under intense scrutiny. Shame on him for taking a stance on buildings that fell into nearly $10 million in disrepair under previous administrations' watch. 1 Quote

One also needs to understand the context that MJ has never thought highly of folks of MRK's ideological background. I'll leave it that. Quote
