Building up higher education in North Dakota
Chancellor Hamid Shirvani already has overseen sweeping changes to higher education after only six months on the job. But he said many of the changes are simply a matter of fully empowering the North Dakota University System by following through on suggestions dating back to the 1980s that hadn’t become a reality – until now.
