NDSU isn’t looking for much in a new President, just someone who isn’t Joe Chapman. They don’t even care if the new guy has a Ph.D! It doesn’t really matter if they know about education, or the research process, that’s not what the President does anyway. The President does important things like: Attend dinners! Fire their own bosses! Hire themselves bodyguards! And develop a healthy cult of personality around themselves!

This latest push to dredge the entire barrel, instead of just the top, is sure to pay off by delivering responsible leadership, right? After all, ANYONE would be better than the State Board homewrecker and diamond-crusted home builder that was Joe Chapman, right? Right?
