NDSU Downtown Campus

i don't see how that would stop a needed building paid for with bonding to be started.

-i guess i should state the reason.

the sbohe wants an increase in base funding of 120 million and one time spending of 135 million. that would be a base increase of 30%! a total increase of 70%!

Don't think I need to talk to our athletic director to understand the situation.

hoeven's preliminary budget was very generous. maybe now it won't be so much. i don't see how that would stop a needed building paid for with bonding to be started.

and don't forget that Hoeven wanted nearly 500 million the last biennium, the legislature gave him 387 million. (and certainly don't forget that ND is #2 in per capita higher education spending.)

Rest assured if the school to the north was growing leaps and bounds the legislature would be tripping over themselves to help fund construction of new dorms.

I merged about 8 threads about NDSU's downtown campus.

RIP TheBisonator, slayer of chicken wings and friend I never got to meet.
