2. The new Chancellor has not once backed up any of the people who report to him from NDSU no matter how inane the complaints from idiots like Minot Roscoe
3. ForumComm, Bismarck Tribune, Minot Daily News, KFGO - they all want Bresciani gone. Pretty sure Bison 1660 and the Super Valu Saver are the only ones who haven't advocated tarring and feathering him.
4. It's not like Al Carlson is going to go to bat for NDSU because Al is all about Al
5. They're doing this behind closed doors
On the plus side, I'm pretty sure that if they go ahead and do this, they might be surprised by the backlash they get. At least I hope they are sent running for cover because if there isn't a huge uproar, you can pretty much kiss any aspirations NDSU has goodbye.
The apathy shown in the Spectrum pole doesn't bode well for the uproar that I'd want to see from the students should they not renew him. I think it's been too quiet leading up to tomorrow and they're going to think they can choose non-renewal and sneak it by. If there were pressure, or even coverage, from somewhere other than the Spectrum going in I'd feel more comfortable that he'd get renewed. I just don't think the SBHE gives a damn what any of the groups at NDSU that voiced their support for him think and they'll try to sneak this by.
Is this the only item on the agenda tomorrow so the entire meeting is behind closed doors, or is there a regular meeting and the Bresciani piece? If it's the latter, then I hope that the Melicher tries again, but a little more aggressively this time, to get it all out in the open. The only reason for these snakes to hide what their doing is to protect their handlers and hide their shite reasoning for this whole fiasco.
Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.
