State of the University

Perhaps said funding drive will include 15 million for state of the art IPF with connecting coaches offices and football specific weight room.

Not to mention a new retractable roof stadium!

And of course, the F***ing Fargo Forum's headline is "NDSU's President says he wants enrollment to reach 18,000." Holy shit that is horrible "journalism." That is 1 of the 3 targets identified in reaching the ultimate goal of AAU status.

I am sure the Anti-Imperial Cass folks will have a heyday with that headline. It is not growth of a student body just for the sake of being bigger.

BINGO-BINGO-BINGO!

We were at the Development Foundation Banquet on Thursday evening, and President Bresciani touched on these same points about the future of academics in every context possible, not once did he make it ever seem as if they want more students just for the helluvit!!

I believe Davis and SBU are the only non-IVY fcs schools in the AAU.

This would be a HUGE deal to academics in ND. And believe it or not, could be parlayed into future conference moves.

Crazy that UC -Davis made it into AAU as a DII school. Accepted to AAU in 1996 and didn't do DI til 2003.

President Bresciani might have earned himself an honorary doctorate in Trolling.

SV over at SS is pissing all over himself on this.

Omigod. If you want to waste a lot of time, do a google search on: site:http://csnbbs.com ndsu

Be warned: It's a non-stop cringe-fest.

For folks that have not been following, the NDSU College of Health Professions has landed multiple NIH grants at the College of Pharmacy.

However, the College was cut out of the ND budget for a critical addition to Sudro that is needed in large part to support this research. See:

If NDSU has any chance of AAU status, the School of Pharmacy is the key to the biomedical money needed. The Dean does not yet want folks to start actively advocating legislators, but NDSU MUST get this addition done. If folks want to know more about this, feel free to post questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
