He was handed a terrible budget and made it work. He's stood up to criticism, right or wrong. It's called leadership. And it's sadly rare in today world. He’s a total asshole but the campus is going to benefit from him for the next 60 years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFlop Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 It will take several years (if being objective) to determine how good or bad Kennedy actually was for UND. The one certainty is that he was pompous and lacking in people skills. His complete lack of awareness when it came to the timing/perception of some of his decisions was absolutely uncanny. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Word on the street is that a search committee has been formed to find a new president.

The Sicatoka Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 17 minutes ago, Kab said: From day one he had no intention of being here with his attitude of wanting to be called his honor "The Honorable" is a title used by former members of the US House of Representative and other elected officials. He doesn't have a Ph.D. He needed something to remind the academics he's no schmoe off the street. Please don't tell me you begrudge someone using a title they've earned. That said, I never heard of him wanting to be called "his honor" to address him in person. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It feels like every 4th license plate I see is from Texas. Plus, when it is 110 in Texas, 75 degree summer days in the mountains must seem like heaven.

Frozen4sioux Posted April 9, 2019 Author Share Posted April 9, 2019 As good of news as I think this is...
