Panel selects 5 Finalists for NDSU President

[Hammersmith]

Or, the fact that he has no animosity toward the school up north gives his position currency with people who may otherwise have their Kelly green and pink blinders on when it comes to certain issues.

Along those same lines, it might be useful to have good intelligence on the day to day dealings of upper UND admin. Their personalities and priorities. Would make it easier to know how to craft proposals and programs in ways to avoid unnecessary problems, or to know to prepare for battle when those problems can't be avoided.

Something like how a major law firm that specializes in corporate and investment law might hire former SEC lawyers in order to better understand the personalities and general strategies of the SEC. At least until one of your nutbag clients threatens to fire your entire law firm because he hates the SEC that much. But that would never happen <coughElonMuskcough>.


Don't mind me, just woke up from a 16hr, Nyquil-induced coma.

I'm with you. Plus, who cares? If the guy is the most qualified for the job, that's who I want. People generally want what's best for themselves and their org.

Being the Grand Poobah of the only FBS school in the state sounds better to me than holding back the my school because I used to work at the rival school.

Bo Schembechler was an assistant at Ohio State before going to Michigan. Enough said.

Bisonville sure could use a few more grand forks posters.

.....only if you don't learn from it.....

What if you could learn from the smartest ever. Maybe Chapo did.

Albert Einstein
Hugh Everett
Marie Curie
Nicola Tesla





Hugh Everett not that familiar with him as the others. So I took a look at his work.
He wrote studied-
The Many Worlds of Quantum Mechanics. Incoherence Theory.
I can only imagine what thoughts go thru his and the rest minds.

Down to 3 finalists to be interviewed by the BoHE: Cook, El_Rewini, and Holz-Clause. Interviews on Feb 23rd.

I'm bummed that Tidwell didn't make the cut. Hoping for Cook.

Not good...

I agree. That's why the SBOHE is going to hire an anti sports President. It's all part of their secret master plan. None of these candidates are better than Breschani and I was critical of him and the declining enrollment

[BigHorns]

I'm not sure why folks think Cook is more likely to take us to FBS than El-Rewini is. FBS opportunities are largely determined by factors beyond our control. If/when Boise leaves the MWC, that will create an opening we would be interested in.

The President's job is to lead the university and El-Rewini has a good track record on the academic side of things. I know we have a hatred for all things UND, but he may be able to accomplish more due to his connections. Any president wants the best for the university they lead. The idea they would sabotage athletics is just silly.

this guy hasn't met academia minds has he.

Cook was at Kansas. Kansas is Big 12 & huge basketball school that rubs off on every single person there. period.

the und guy probably will want d1 hockey & the female from Crookston. hahaha I can't finish that sentence, we'd be the laughingstock of all universities.
