  • This is awesome. Let's keep things rolling in fixing the admin of the department:

        How many times over the last 5 years have I asked that same exact question on here and/or Twitter only to be that I have no clue what I'm talking about and it isn't actually possible for us, and Cedar Falls HS embarrassing us on facilities 500 yards from our front door can but we can't, etc.

        Where the **** was the money going, David? If there was no money why couldn't you get the money that Dr. Franklin can/has? Clearly, people are willing to give.

        I honestly wouldn't be opposed to Rob Sand's office running a full audit on the books for David's tenure. We already know they are/were in rough shape. The BOR auditor dinged them for failure to maintain balance and proper books and failure to document where money is going/coming. The BOR is going to do a fraction of the digging Rob Sand's office would do if they conducted an audit of the books. Given it is state money at a state institution it would be well within his office's jurisdiction.

        Now, I pray that doesn't happen because we just need to move forward and get past those years. The last thing Dr. Franklin needs is for the state to come in and give her bad PR that she didn't earn and impose penalties moving forward to slow the progress.

        • I don't think it was always so much about spending the money as it was about doing the work that goes along with spending the money.

          If you'd rather just sit back and do nothing, money becomes an convienient excuse.

          • Yeah honestly doing something nefarious with the money would have been too much work for the previous administration lol

              Not when the guy who got you the new job is the father of the guy that was in charge of the checkbook...

                You probably aren’t wrong.


                but that’s also the perfect cover, honestly.

                    And the Regents Academic Affairs committee approved UNI's M.A. in Transformative Education and and M.A. in Teaching. Plus the new UNI Department of Construction Management. Lost the Textiles and Apparel Program.

                      CM is splitting out of the Applied Engineering department. That program has either the largest or close to the largest incoming class of ANY program at UNI. Hoping to be able to see some real growth with the applied engineering at technology programs in the near future.

                      • I saw there was another million dollar donation from the gaming board.

                        Does anyone know the timetable for when they will get started with the work on the interior? I'm guessing they are waiting for some indoor track meets to be completed?

                          Late March/Early April after track and softball are done with it for the summer. Supposed to be ready to go August 15th which seems aggressive.

                            If Megan and her team can get that done by then, put a statue of her outside the Dome or something. That'd be incredible. Can't wait to see all the interior upgrades on TV once they're done. I've been trying to find a reason to travel from CO to make it to a game after all this is done too
