Panel selects 5 Finalists for NDSU President

[ByeSonBusiness]

Ohio State has a gazillion students. They have almost as many alumni as the entire state of ND population.

Ohio State is also a typical flagship in addition to being land grant

If you look closely, these lines already exist

NDSU = STEM*/Ag/Business/Education/Fine Arts + highest level FB
*minus oil and aero

UND = Med/Law/Liberal Arts + Oil/Aero + highest level hockey

If I’m UND, I take that with a sh*t eating grin. You have the regionally guaranteed success associated with med/oil/aero, while putting all the risk and external competition in Fargo

now give Mayville to UND & Valley city to NDSU.
Close down 3 other colleges and then we are getting somewhere.

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

I like Tidwell the best. He as a D1 athlete at Ball State. I don't know which sport, but that tells me that he probably values athletics and the front-porch concept.

Looks like he helped facilitate merger between UT Tyler and a medical college. Once the merger happened, they only needed one president and they chose to stick with the medical college president because they were emphasizing that aspect of the institution. It sounds plausible to me and he has pretty good credentials. So without knowing anything else, I'd throw my lot in with him.

I’m not against that but we’d probably have to give up pharmacy to them. Which I also would be ok with.

Pharmacy and nursing. And business.

You guys get to keep the barnyard animals.

I listen to Joel Heitamp a lot.

And have heard him say at least one time probably more that all Engineering Degrees should be taught at NDSU. No Engineering at UND. Then he'd say UND can have this from NDSU. UND is getting nothing from NDSU. All Engineering may end up at NDSU.

Reading online abit about Hesham El-Rawini he is probably a genius. I believe he has written 12 books.

Is that the plan. Hire Hesham take NDSU Engineering to the next level. I believe that's not only possible and probably.

Know what would be even better? Making all the other schools two year colleges and the two biggest can stay 4 year.

Hire the KU guy. We need someone with charisma not some nerd that can't talk to women or donors for money.

Joe Chapman has Charisma? I guess he got some donations.
Joe and me look like the young man on the old Mad Magazine.
Alfred E. Neuman.
Newman wasn't that the guy who served drinks at SU? Ha

Higher Ed fucked in the ass again. This time in grand forks. Catholics claim they’re being discriminated against because the university was merely discussing the idea that it would be nice if people didn’t intentionally misgender other people so under pressure from the state legislature the university President shut down the policy discussion.

Charisma is only loosely related to one's appearance, if at all.
