Ralph Kingsbury, a former member of the North Dakota Board of Higher Education, likes to tell about the Walsh County farmer who reacted to news that the state university system might impose admission standards in this way: “I pay taxes and my son has a right to flunk out of the university.” That’s about to change.

Hamid Shirvani, chancellor, North Dakota University System, Bismarck, column: 'Educating for change' is our universities' challenge

MATTERS AT HAND: No cliffs in state legislatures, but plenty of issues
Now that the election is well behind us, we can turn to the business end of politics, governing — or attempting to govern. No doubt this business is toughest in Washington, where a fiscal cliff lies just ahead. There are no cliffs in Bismarck or St. Paul, but the impending legislative sessions offer the potential of spectacle, nevertheless. Challenges loom in both state capitols.

Duaine Espegard, Grand Forks, column: To reform higher ed, N.D.’s chancellor needs staff
North Dakota is entering a new era, and it’s imperative that we make good decisions about where we invest the proceeds of our prosperity. What better investment than in the education of the generation who will lead our transformation from the state that has been the country’s best-kept secret to the state that quickly is becoming the envy of the world?

OUR OPINION: New rules for going to college
"College has proved to be the best umbrella in this historic economic storm and the best preparation for the economy that is emerging in recovery." So says "The College Advantage," a new report by the Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce; and given the strength of its numbers, it's no wonder enrollments at both UND and North Dakota State University are at record highs.

OUR OPINION: A new way to hire college presidents
Here’s an idea for Shirvani as he starts to exercise his new power as chancellor of the North Dakota higher education system: Invite James Garland for a visit. For North Dakota’s purposes, he’s important because he has written extensively about an academic practice that’s ripe for reform: how universities, especially state universities, find and hire new presidents.
