Bulldog Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 Here's what the Chroncle of Higher Education says about North Dakota's awful mascot: But why have the University of Illinois and University of North Dakota (as well as numerous others) persisted in such stupidity? On the surface, a fear of decreased funding from alumni is apparent, but perhaps a deeper analysis and examination of the underlying sources of the administrations' conduct is called for here. The University of North Dakota recently used the ranting and threats from a single contributor as the rationale for deciding not to go forward with a committee that was supposed to examine the mascot issue. In essence, the administration placed a price-tag on racism. I guess the price is an indication of inflation--ancestors lost their homes and sometimes their lives for as little as a couple of acres of arable land -- but now the going price is 100 million dollars or the equivalent of one hockey arena. The behavior of the board in this matter accentuates not only the greed that is readily apparent, but also cowardice in addressing an issue that should not have a price placed on it.
