I think he has made a final decision about UND. He will have trouble leading the troops in Grand Forks now that they know he has one foot out the door. He knows that too. 1 Quote

This will be abump in the road here in ND for Pres. Kennedy. He will not get the job. By letting the world know he is ready to bolt, he will be hit on again. At the same time North Dakota is put on notice and he will lose support. Just wan't here long enough to do this. 2 Quote

UCF would be a great job. It is not as if he were applying to an XDSU. In the upper world that Kennedy is in, if you don't move on you are a loser. Kelley never was considered for another job for very good reasons. Quote

UND isn't an apex predator for any position other than the head coach of men's hockey. <-- ignoring the NHL here. Props to you for the use of "apex predator". Quote
Shawn-O Posted February 15, 2018 Posted February 15, 2018 Anyone know if Kennedy's contract extends beyond June 30, 2018? Quote Bresciani’s past year at NDSU has been rocky, including the delayed renewal of his contract by the higher education board, which voted 7-1 in November 2016 to extend his leadership of the university until June 30, 2018, the same term as his fellow campus presidents. 1 Quote

Rebel_Sioux Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 If he takes the job he'd have the shortest tenure since Blackburn (litteraly our first president). Frankly I expected him to be here awhile considering he and his wife are relatively local. Still, I wouldn't blame him if he can actually double his salary. That being said, it's hard to me to form an opinion on his short tenure. He mishandled cutting sports (we won't cut any sports in my tenure...a few months later...jk) but he inheireted that problem from Kelley/Schafer and the ND budget shortfall. Quote

Why do we want someone leading our University that doesn't want to be here? You think you're getting his best effort or is he just waiting for the next best thing to come along? 1 Quote

If you are plugging along in your cubicle, doing your job and making $15/hr, and some other company from a distance notices your potential and offers you $30/hour in a bigger and warmer cubicle, are you gonna say no, "I refuse to even consider your proposition "? 4 Quote
Sioux>Bison Posted February 16, 2018 Posted February 16, 2018 We should feel honored that our president was sought out by a much bigger university. He was the only one on the list without a phd. You know you are valuable when people seek you. Quote
