CMSioux Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Some people just interview well - sarcasm. The ND Board of Education is very dysfunctional and proven that hiring high level positions by a disconnected committee doesn't work. Quote

Kind of seems KEM put herself in a spot on this one. She got her wish, hoping the Foundation has already given her a call to see what donations she was holding back on. 9 Quote

Godsmack Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 Given the liberal politics of CU Boulder, I’m a little surprised they’d even consider Kennedy. Quote

You forgot two things I’ve seen mentioned on twitter by multiple people. The renewal of women’s hockey and the reinstatement of the Fighting Sioux nickname. Seriously. 4 Quote

Is it the same dude who thinks that Kennedy vetoed the choice of North Dakota Does anybody seriously think that the new President is going to both of those things? 1 Quote

Just saying I know a number of those 3-5 figure donors who would check box "C" as to why he/she is not donating or are donating less.......and it has absolutely nothing to do with being "content with the status quo" or "being reluctant to change". My daughter will be attending UND next fall. We've toured campus a number of times. Campus definitely has changed since I was there but to give him all or most of the credit for "transforming campus" is a disingenuous. They should be happy now. Quote

That would piss me off, world ends right after I retire and I start screwing off on a full-time basis. As compared to the 70% time I screw off now 2 Quote

Siouxperfan7 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 https://www.grandforksherald.com/news/government-and-politics/4597215-kennedy-sorry-leave-und-role-university-colorado-system It is a shame UND is losing Kennedy. He got unfair criticism, mostly the dropping of womens hockey and other programs, and was given little to no credit for all teh good things he did for UND. UND last a good President. CU recognizes it, those that don't judge a person based on mob mentality recognize it as well. “Mark Kennedy is a proven leader with a diverse set of skills and experiences in higher education, government and business that will allow him to build on the considerable success CU has experienced in recent years and take the university to even greater heights,” Sue Sharkey, chair of the CU Board of Regents, said in a statement. 4 Quote

Cratter Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I'm going to have a party planner. Now I'm not going to have a party planner. I'm not going to cut sports. Now I'm going to cut sports. I'm going to pay my chief of staff to live in a different state. Now I'm not going to do that. I'm not interested in any other job. Now I'm going to Colorado. Said the two year president. 1 3 Quote
SiouxFan100 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 I am suspicious about the timing of this announcement. you don’t suppose Kennedy just wanted to upstage the big spring football event? Quote
