UND Fan Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 In one of the recent articles in the Sioux Falls newspaper discussing the DI and DII issues, there was a comment about UM-Crookston struggling athletically and as an institution. Obviously, they do have a lot of progress to be made athletically but I was unaware they were having problems otherwise. Can anyone enlighten me?

GCWaters Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 In one of the recent articles in the Sioux Falls newspaper discussing the DI and DII issues, there was a comment about UM-Crookston struggling athletically and as an institution. Obviously, they do have a lot of progress to be made athletically but I was unaware they were having problems otherwise. Can anyone enlighten me? They brought in a new provost a couple of years ago who wasn't very popular and who left rather abruptly...guy who replaced him is the guy who was in charge of the UofMn Cooperative Extension re-organization, so I think that may have started some rumors. I have heard folks from GF talking about the school having some problems, but haven't heard anything specific.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RD17 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 There was an article in the Star Tribune this summer I believe where someone hinted that the UMC campus might eventually be closed. If they are seriously considering an eventual closure of the campus, it sure didn't make a lot of sense to build a brand new student center within the last year.

dakotadan Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 UMC also just started a television ad campaign this week. Looks to me that they are dedicated to improving their campus and image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotadan Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 UMC carves a new identity UMC has since shrugged off the exaggerated claims of its impending death, and, instead, put its energy toward building a stronger campus. Brandli said the task force, which includes alumni, school faculty and civic leaders, as well as Crookston City Manager Aaron Parrish and former state legislator Roger Moe, will meet one more time to tweak its final recommendations before they're sent to U of M administrators.
