State of the University address

[El_Chapo]

If you are referring to lakes / el chapo. He believes every word of it. Many on this board that know him outside of this board will concur.

und medical & law school are ranked in the 100's, law school students barely pass the bar exam. its not a secret and you don't have to defend below average.

mix in the pedophile professors (murdering alums-Reinbold) and stuffing old indian bones in closets and a niche sport team that is celebrated at 3-3 why would you send your kids there to lower canada just so your kid can fail the bar exam https://www.grandforksherald.com/new...-pass-bar-exam

But they DO have a med school and law school, correct?
NDSU is also in the middle of nowhere and has neither of those. Soooooo......ya.
I know multiple people who are doctors and lawyers making way more money than you can ever dream of, who went to UND for just those exact degrees.

If you look at what determines law school ranking (guessing med school is similar), schools in lovely places like North Dakota are destined to be ranked poorly.

You could give NDSU a blank check to start a law school and U of M Law's budget and end up with the exact same rank as UND.

UND and non-UND grads had the exact same bar passage rate on the ND bar exam this summer.

Kinda amusing considering the schools some of us non-UND went to.

Hey Chapo,

What do you call a graduate of the 134th medical school?
Doctor.
And be happy to do it because it's hard to get doctors to move to this region.

PS - Using a near decade old article on law school graduates. See ByeSonBusiness' post for the latest data.

I often wonder if actually believes the things he says or just likes to get replies like this one.

When I see Chapo spew like this I know another UND graduate was promoted past him .... a-a-a-agin.

Does he realize when he spends his time, in the "State of the (NDS)University" thread no less, railing against anther school it implies he has nothing positive to say about his own?

Chapo: You seem stressed. Maybe a Vegas vacation would help.

Id rather goto Hoople

Really too bad Bresciani didn’t want to go on-line. NDSU would be doing quite well in that arena, likely much better than UND, but now it’s going to do some damage

But then again, kind of odd to reward a school with more on-line students simply because they are students

They really do need to start pushing more online stuff it's not just the future it's the now!

You vastly underrate Pisek.

My question with the budget cuts is will they do the right thing with them? Sadly, in academia, they often behave like everyone "should share the pain." That is terrible business thinking. You need to look at what you are good at, what programs are succeeding and generating graduates/income, and do everything to protect them. Then, find those programs that are not and shut them down. This is terrible for those with job there, but they are going to destroy their great programs if they don't make tough decisions.

Here is a real example. I know of 12 month contract faculty, with signed contracts, forced onto 9 month appointments in a highly successful program area. So in other words, their income was cut by 25% and any students they work with over the summer for on the job training, is eliminated. Is that a good way to attract the beat and brightest faculty? What does this do to the educational experience students are paying for? You just can't go on like this, and this happened with the last budget cut. That program is in serious accreditation risk at this point....

If NDSU is making cuts the rest of ND College's are probably next.
