Yes, the rating dropped, but is that level something to be ashamed of? Honest question that I don't know the answer to-what was the rating before Bresciani took over?
- Not cutting spending and instead cutting an earmarked program that hasn't started yet? Yeah because we want to go through the same thing that UND just went through when they decided to cut Music Therapy? He decided to save money in future budgets by not starting the program at all.
Just quoting these two because they are so incredibly stupid.
Research rating: Yeah, NDSU's research rating dropped from the highest possible rating to the second highest, but UND has never even reached that highest level and is pretty far behind NDSU even now. Besides, it's kind of ironic that the SBoHE suddenly cares because they were nowhere to be found when NDSU was getting hammered for trying to do things that would have helped preserve that ranking. That's terrible leadership on the SBoHe's part.
Budget cutting: This would be laughable if it wasn't so moronic. SBoHE told NDSU to cut the budget so NDSU cut the budget, but then the SBoHE told the world that NDSU cut their budget incorrectly. That is terrible leadership by the SBoHE in two ways: First, it's micromanaging. Second, it's yet another example of the state waiting for NDSU to do something and then coming up with an ex post facto standard to make NDSU wrong.
It's ironic that the SBoHE can fault anybody for lack of communication given that they never communicated their expectations in those two cases until after the fact. That's terrible communication and terrible leadership.
Edit: criticizing sbohe not mayville bison's post

No, it is not my opinion why. They were clear, with examples, on why he didn't have his contract renewed: Communication breakdown, research needs improvement, lack of teamwork and lack of compliance with state technology law. Pretty laughable to claim the reasons "are only a big deal if you want them to be" when they caused him to not get his contract renewed yet. That seems like a pretty big deal to me, but of course I'm just spinning my own narrative.
Can you point out where in the communication that exposes the supposed witch hunt? So far it was the chairwoman of the board using the term "improvement plan" instead of a different phrase, when previous interviews stated they were going to work with him on improving the above mentioned issues, which may not be officially an improvement plan, but sounds pretty close to one. And let's not forget that that reason that said press release had to come out was because of the NDSU media-rights debacle and DB's subsequent handling of it.
Can you also point "who" it is that wants DB gone? First it was the UND controlled legislature, but we've already proven that doesn't exist. Then it was western legislators, but NDSU has ties to around 25% of the total legislature, yet they sit there silent while NDSU is being supposedly railroaded? Is it the SBoHE that has 4 of 8 members with NDSU ties? Because if that is the case, then maybe you should read between the lines to see that he isn't doing his job the way he should be.
As for getting into a legal mess, that is a pretty big stretch since all they have to do is let him finish out the school year and he's done. If whoever "they" are want him gone, there is no legal requirement for his contract to be renewed, so it is pretty simple. They don't need to harass him to leave or get into any sort of legal issues.
Just want to be clear. You're quoting someone else, right PL? The first sentence about koolaid is yours, but everything else is either from SS or Port's blog.

Yeah it's from SS. I regret taking the bait and making my first post there two minutes ago already. I need to take a shower now after visiting there.

Correct.......
Re: Chamber Backs Bresciani
Please realize that bringing NDSU down to UND's level as a University is really the same as them "catching up to us" in sports back in the DII era. Lesson your competition and you can then compete. Both classic and pathetic at the same time.
Hope they get "rolled" by BG tomorrow to go 0 & 2.

Re: Chamber Backs Bresciani
The biggest thing that has not come out is how DB and NDSU did not cooperate with UN_. Me thinks UN_ was facing a budget deficit, tried to steal some money from a state or federal program and when DB and NDSU told them to get lost they cried foul. The interview that was done by the SBoHE to find out more about this was basically, "You go and ask UN_." I still want this answered.

No I won't talk to the sick people up there.
OR it could be as simple as Dr. Dean didn't want to have to talk to child molesters up at UND. Can't say I blame him if that were to be the communication issue.
Sorry Chappo but that six months without a child porn arrest up there came to a screeching halt , with red & blue lights flashing. Sicko'S.S
