Had they just elevated Jackson without a search it would have opened up more negativity from many fans. At least this way UND can say they evaluated the available and interested candidates and have determined Jackson is the best choice. Now, that won't eliminate negative feedback, but it will help minimize it, and it's the right thing for the University to do for Jackson. Expand I was lead on hiring a new CEO a year or so ago. I was pretty sure we had the guy internally, but I demanded we spent the time, money, and effort for a national search. Why? As I told the (internal candidate) new CEO, "If we just hired you there'd be skeptics. I, and you, can say you didn't "get" the job but that you won it." 4 Quote
