Thunder the Bleacher creature was horrendous. I did what I could when I was in the student senate to delay it by a couple years by convincing the Senate to deny any money for it. But they got it privately funded and not enough votes to prohibit it.....what an embarrassment that was to UND....right up there with the Scream Yellow campaign at NDSU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMSioux Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 The biggest disappointment is that there are leaders on this campus (somewhere in a closed meeting room) that thought this was a good idea and spent a great deal of time and money to create this statue, then within a week some other leader(s) made the decision to remove it. Just a bad reflection on all sides. It just shows that one hand doesn't know what the other is doing. Sounds like we need some investigative reporting. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
