    Default Burgum makes announcement about Higher ed future

    This is on in-forum. He has not made an announcement, but you can watch it live on their page.
    When? Don't know. What will he say? Don't know.

    BISMARCK, N.D. - North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum made a major announcement Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 7 regarding the future of the state's higher education system.

    On now

    Well I hope the war is about to begin and some of our campuses have their mission changed. Their legislators should be given 2 choices either close or change focus to technical or certificate programs.

    Burgam is absolutely right. While campuses are never going away education is changing and NDSU does need a better blend of online vs traditional

    Yep. Online streamlines the cost and doesn't require expensive buildings to expand. Plus you can truly become a national brand and draw in students anywhere in the country.

    Old school on campus is still important but online is a big part of the present and the future and it could help control the out of control costs

    We will know what Burgam wants when he announces who is on the committee. The size of the committee suggests he probably isn't looking for real action, but the exact makeup might change that. I see a few possibilities.

    1. Loaded with ND GOP members: Burgum is conceding higher-ed power to the legislature in return for other political considerations.

    2. Loaded with business interests: We're going to see a push for job training to extend into the four-year schools instead of the more open-ended programs.

    3. Loaded with existing higher-ed interests: Burgam wants the status quo, but wants to look like he's doing something.

    4. A fairly even mix of the above: About the same as #3, but Burgam knows no one will be happy with the results of the committee, so he wants them to fight amongst themselves in the news so he looks blameless.



    I expect it to be the last one, but either of the first two would be inviting disaster.

    I dont think Burgum needs to do anything politically just for the sake of doing something because he's already one of the top 5 most popular Governors in the nation. He doesn't strike me as the type of guy who would just do something for the sake of doing something

    Oh, if the committee was 20+ members, I'd be sure he wanted it to go nowhere. If the committee was 10 or less, I'd be sure he was looking for real action. The 15 number is right in the grey area.

    Bisonville is a pretty good place to discuss online college education. It's a lot like fantasy football.
