    Default McFeely article about Skarphol

    http://www.inforum.com/news/3928221-...s-isolationism

    While Bob is not a perfect guy he does have some legit points imho. Interesting take by McFeely. I don't agree or disagree. How much does the ND tax payer "subsidize" international and non-resident students? How long does it take to get residency? Has anyone ever published that info and how would one find it?

    Thank you, Mike. Obvious grasp at power over NDUS and the State Board is obvious.

    I'm normally not a huge fan of McFeely, but I feel he's dead on with this one.

    Pres and NDSU are trying to better themselves, what's wrong with that?

    Hard to believe that I actually agree with something McFeely wrote.

    The fact of the matter is ND has fricking 11 universities for a state population of less then 800k people total. Where does Mr. Skarphol expect the universities to get students? He does realize that is their job right? Does he seriously believe that we can fill 11 institutions with nothing but ND students? Sounds like a UND grad.

    It would be one thing if he was interested in eliminating a few institutions and streamlining the others but his end game is nothing more then an NDSU witch hunt.

    McFeely should stop picking on Bob---he has been a relentless advocate for higher education.

    If Skarphol said the world is flat, Jabba the Port would be on Team Skarpohl. All reasoning and common sense has been thrown out the window and everything becomes a conservative or liberal issue depending on who says what first.

    Typically students like this pay full board - $18,000+ per year.

    The University of Illinois has made a fortune off of this.

    Things do change if they are on assistantship, with tuition waivers.

    So we typically make money off international and non-residents?
