Cook or Tidwell.

Mn lady, looks like a major lefty.
Larson, out of her element here.
El-No.

Looks like checking diversity boxes was top priority with list of 5. Where are candidates from Ok State, K-State, Nebraska, A&M. I liked cook’s Bio.

Sure do miss the days when the list would fave been 5 mediocre white dudes.

I heard on the radio El-Rewini was on the committee that was swindled by Mark Kennedy. Stee-rike three, he's out!

I miss the days when the candidates were from the area they were running for. Also tired of minorities getting nominated just because. An upper midwest university doesn't need someone from Washington DC or California running it. They won't represent the majority Midwest values. The next NDSU president better be the candidate from Texas or Kansas or I will drop my support of the University. Total BS the 5 candidates only consist of 2 from the middle of the country.

Looks like Larson was a finalist at Mankato State last year but did not get the job.

Holz-Clause spent a lot of time in Ag at Iowa State… and she and her husband apparently own a feedlot in Iowa

Tidwell interviewed at UTSA recently- it is curious why he left the presidency of UT-Tyler prior to having another job lined up.

I'm not gonna bother pretending I know what makes someone qualified to be a university president.

Hope whomever gets the job does a nice job. I dont care where they are from. I'd take a Somali pirate if they knew how to run the show effectively.

Agree! Competency, ability, and other successful metrics should carry the day. Hopefully that happens/works here.
