stoneySIOUX Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 15 minutes ago, jdub27 said: Agreed. The status quo was around for so long that people are absolutely frightened by the change and adding in budget cuts on top of it adds to that. Fact is, the status quo needed to change and it is. Someone actually came in and made some hard decisions that have been kicked down the road for too long. Some of them were forced (budget cuts), some of them were unpopular and it is possible that some of them might end up not being the right thing, but something needed to be done to get UND back on track. At least there is now a public vision to what the school is striving for and the leadership is embracing it. I'm honestly not trying to be rude here, I genuinely want to know your opinion... what is the school striving for and what do you think the vision is? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobIwabuchiFan Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 What I don't get is how DeLorenzo gets to stay on at UND...He was part of the Kelly growth program which caused UND to crazy on building replacement (utilization rate is so low they are now destroying buildings) and expanding our athletics programs to 21 sports (U of Wisconsin Madison had less programs at the time!). Add on the fact that an across campus survey showed him with the lowest scores in trust and integrity...so what gives? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodak651 Posted July 11, 2018 Share Posted July 11, 2018 So she worked 20% of a 40 hour week and complained about the schools expectations of timeliness in her work? Of course they asked her if she really wanted to be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UND Today is a cool publication to subscribe too. Yes, it's a PR publication that is mostly positive about what is going on at UND. But all that said, the information is true and accurate -- and it usually has stuff before it hits the Herald. In fact, many of the more positive Herald articles about UND originated in UND Today. http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/ Subscribe page: http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/subscribe/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What could have been with him being the pres Let's take a quick look at how that donation came about.... Quote Rick Hedberg of the Minot State University Development Foundation announced that the late Janis Dislevy, who is an MSU alum, gifted $4.6 million to the foundation. With the latest gift from Dislevy, she will have gifted the university with a grand total of $5.3 million over the past 15 years. She established the Janis Ann Dislevy Trust Endowed Scholarship in 2003 and the Janis Ann Dislevy Endowed Chair in 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ArchyAlum11 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Kennedy pretty much ran out of goodwill when it came out that he's already looking for a new job at a "better" university. I could see people being a little more forgiving if he had been on the job for a longer period of time, but given that its been less than 5 years it just looks bad for him. 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why did you put quotes around "better?" UCF Average ACT: 28. UND Average ACT: 23 UCF President Salary: $506K. UND President Salary: $365K The president of UCF has better performing students, a higher profile school, gets to live in warm weather which older folks love, etc. Tough to blame a guy for expressing an interest in that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
