TheFlop Posted April 9, 2019 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

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

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. Quote
