Hawkster Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 The problem with Schafer, assuming Kennedy actually leaves, is he's just another politician. We need someone who is more academic then political. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ND-fan Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I hope to we don't get another inter[m run by Ed Schafer the problem I see with this when he gets into power he wants to make all the changes he was prevented from as governor. The last time he was president this what he did and made severe cuts in many of programs at UND in favor of pet programs of his over the years. I do not believe an interim president should be making any long term decision for the university. He is just place holder for the position and new incoming president should be making and setting direction he believes the institution should be heading. Back to Kennedy I wouldn't respond to his email letter on his resignation I would keep quiet on the matter. My response would be to the higher education board asking for them on their input on who should be on next committee to find next president of UND. This would basically signal again to Kennedy that his position at UND is finished and he should prepare himself for what ever the future has coming for him. Yes I would agree there are grounds for firing him with his latest comments and now his desire to find employment elsewhere. The sad part of this is Kennedy would have put his nose to grind stone and worked with legislature, Und staff, Students, and people of North Dakota followed through with his visions and his promise to travel and get to know people of state and how UND could benefit them as well listen to them what concerned them about UnD he could have become one of great presidents of UND. I think when both parties have not gotten what they want its best for both parties to part ways and just call this period a mistake for both parties.

UNDBIZ Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 As far as interim president, a few years ago the board appointed the BSC president to serve as interim chancellor for a while before hiring Hagerott. It'd be interesting to see them do something similar, appointing Minot's Shirley as interim UND president while doing the search for the full time president. Would give him a little test run before making their choice to go with him or look elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
