Because he always comes here with innuendos and half truths but then will claim it isn't his place to actually offer any substance on what it is or that it is not his place to do so. Let's him troll with no worries of being proven wrong. Still waiting for all the news to come out on his contractor buddies that never got paid by UND. 7 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SiouxVolley Posted May 2 Confusing that this angst over Kennedy wasn’t shown nearly as strident over Kelley. The students even unfurled a banner for Kelley’s ouster at the REA. Kennedy made tough decisions that some of the faculty hated (dropping WIH and M/W swimming, laying off staff, dropping academic programs, suspending a golf course) while the only thing that Kelley did was finagling a way to drop the Sioux nickname where he didn’t get the blame but let every financial issue fester.. Its rare the the students recognize the real problem. 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its rare the the students recognize the real problem. Kennedy did a lot of good for the University. The next president will be rewarded. I know some profs cried over losing positions. I expense needed to be trim. Same with W/H. And other. If could have been a smoocher like Glass he would have been a hero. He did his job and moved on. Next president gets the credit. 1 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cratter Posted May 2 All the next guy or gal has to do is not piss off donors or call the state racist, and they'll be ahead of the game! Kennedy set the bar pretty low for the next president. 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawkster Posted May 3 I was glad when Kuppy left and I'm glad now. Main objective going forward is going to be that we don't pull a CU and turn our hiring process into a Gong Show event. Don't assume that someone can't find a way to totally screw up who we get. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NoiseInsideMyHead Posted May 3 Everyone knew this was coming. Is it bad for the NDUS or Chancellor not to have issued a perfunctory statement? Are they gun shy after the Chancellor botched his letter to Kennedy so badly? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How long before the new president gets harped on by the media (Brad) about reinstating women’s hockey? Brad won’t quit until there are 40 fans cheering the women on in the playoffs.

Jacobs won’t quit until there are 40 fans cheering the women on in the playoffs. FYP, he has been a worse offender. A new president won't open that box (you can't bring just one sport back, you have to bring them all back... this is what people don't get... also just imaging the uproar in the departments who have been deeply cut.) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sioux>Bison Posted May 3 Hopefully the next president can pick us a new logo. So embarrassing traveling around the US and people think the logo on your hat is a philli eagles logo. So much for setting our identity. This is why many can’t move on from the Sioux logo.... 1 1 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, the standard for a “good” logo is whether you encounter people who don’t recognize it? Wow. So I guess the Brien Sioux being confused with the Blackhawks was the death knell for that one. And the interlocking ND with Notre Dame...that one never stood a chance. Hate to say it, but right now Mark Kennedy being a controversial CU hire is 10000% more perceptible to the public than the Sioux, the Hawks, the Ralph, the 8 hockey titles, the campus, the academics, and everything else that you appear to think that UND is, combined. UND has an identity. UND is UND. UND will never have anything close to the brand recognition or market penetration of mid-level D1 schools, let alone professional sports franchises. And no logo will ever change that. Not understanding “identity” is why people can’t move on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oxbow6 Posted May 3 Not that I tilt in her direction politically but when does MEK and/or UND make a call to Heidi and ask "You interested?" IMO she could do the job. 3 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So the complaint with Kennedy was a "tone deaf politico with a penchant for angering segments of the constituency" ... and you want to replace with a tone deaf politico with a penchant for angering segments of the constituency. I won't defend Kennedy, but at least he had proven fiscal (CFO) and academic (GWU) chops before his arrival. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
