Higher education chancellor hopes 'it all works out' and Bresciani stays NDSU president - Patrick Springer, Grand Forks Herald

Chancellor Mark Hagerott said he's "hoping it all works out" and Dean Bresciani remains president of North Dakota State University, but said the decision will be up to the State Board of Higher Education. "It's all definitely doable, at least that's what I've seen," he said, referring to areas of improvement higher education board members identified when moving to postpone Bresciani's contract renewal decision until November. "It's the state board's decision." Bresciani has been in limbo since the board decided in late June to delay action on whether to extend his contract in light of concerns, including what members regarded as poor communications and signs NDSU's standing as a research university is slipping. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/4078700-higher-education-chancellor-hopes-it-all-works-out-and-bresciani-stays-ndsu
