Cratter Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 In an article pushing NDSU's need for a new building. A new chemistry building at NDSU has passed the North Dakota senate: Quote Bill SB 2297 includes, a chemistry building at NDSU, a music building at Valley City State University and a project at Dickinson State University’s Pulver Hall. Also proposed at the March 11 House Appropriations Committee hearing was a business and public affairs building at the University of North Dakota, though that has not been added to the bill yet.

nodak651 Posted March 20, 2019 Posted March 20, 2019 Are these requests for bonding that the univiersities have to pay back or is it free money to the school? Quote

Cratter Posted March 23, 2019 Posted March 23, 2019 Happens all the time across the country: Fame & Fortune. Great speeches to look up on youtube from when Jim Carey got one from Maharishi University. Steve Jobs from Stanford. UND already gave one to Phil Jackson a few years back. Now with Josh Duhamel they have every famous person covered from the state. Quote

Sorta gotta put the whole context out there. She never said she will never donate to UND ever again. She said just as long as Mark Kennedy is president. Plus she just donated more money to the building her dad built. Quote
jdub27 Posted March 26, 2019 Posted March 26, 2019 It's an annual event (Women for Philanthropy) and has been set up for a few months now, before the most recent comments about no further donations for buildings or whatever it was. Doesn't mean it won't be a little awkward.... Quote

They're not likely going to pay to replace a safe, usable building.... outside of Fargo. It can be used for something else. Quote

Sounds like UND would like to use it as swing space for the next 5-10 years while they renovate Merrifield and a couple other buildings. The current plan is to raze it after that. Quote
