[QUOTE="gonefshn, post: 47033, member: 380"] Typical of these college "elites". Say you're going to be open about everything and let the people decide, then when you find out they disagree with you, assume you know better and do what you planned to do in the first place anyway. Can't wait for someone to start the next petition for a statewide vote or Legislative intervention. This issue has a lot of very strong feelings from all sides. To Obama us (promise one thing, do the total opposite) is going to cost the university's sports programs donation dollars. There is nothing wrong with leaving it as just North Dakota until the people of the state are really ready for a new nickname. It's quite clear the large majority of stakeholders aren't ready yet. Waiting costs the university NOTHING. Going against the will of the people will cost them dearly. But then, like he really gives a $hit. He'll be gone and patting himself on the back to his grave thinking how wonderful he is. It'd be nice to think that the new Chancellor would be more open minded and say let's wait a bit here until the people are ready and wanting a new nickname. But we know the only way that's going to happen is if the Governor or our elected leaders give him a do it or else directive. Don't let the door hit you in the a$$ on your way out Mr. Kelley.
