Changes Needed at the Top?

[indian-outlaw]

I didn't say that. The blurb I quoted from a UM website said that. And it referred to an average. Learn to read. I was right on everything I said. I didn't backtrack on anything. Show me where I said UM lead the U system. I means me, not a quote from UM. You have never caught me in a mistake and never will. It's that I don't make mistakes. It's just that you aren't smart enough to figure them out.

You posted a quote that didn't have a source. It was a lie. I can't believe you're still trying to defend it. Some people have a gift to shamelessly lie and then never acknowledge the truth when they've been caught. You're the worlds best at that skill.

Then why is UM growing under Bodnar’s leadership?

one or two tiny increases in student #'s over what, 8 years, is growing under his leadership?

....I think today Vocational schools are most needed....a percentage of high
schoolers do not want college....yes you will always have the top academic ones..
but times are changing, some do not like higher education becoming a
breeding ground for liberal/Marxist activism that many seem to be rejecting...
so how will both universities adapt in the next couple of years looking into a Cystal ball...
...it will be interesting...what works now might not work later .versify

It's more than tiny increases. Enrollment went up almost 5% this fall, the most in 15 years, and frosh enrollment was up 5.6% this fall, the most in 9 years. In 2018, UM was experiencing the largest enrollment decline of any flagship university in the country. Now UM is the fastest-growing in the state and one of the fastest growing in the West. UM is bringing more students to campus and helping them to succeed at higher rates. UM's 4-year and 6-year graduation rates are the highest they’ve ever been, and UM students are outperforming their peers at a national level in those respects. I think retention rate is now 76%. UM's research output is also breaking records, and UM's facilities are much improved. Obviously, much more to be done. But definitely positive signs and going in the right direction.

UM is again thriving--enrollment is up, we just had our first Rhodes Scholar named in 30 years, Kolter Stevenson of Amesterdam, Montana, UM creative writing alum have won 2 Pullitzer's in the last 10 years, UM alum Lily Gladstone won The Golden Globe for " Killers of The Flower Moon," for best actress and was nominated for the Oscar, a first on both counts for a Native American actress, another UM alum and Golden Globe and Oscar-winning actor JK Simmons is currently co'starring as Santa Claus with Dwayne " The Rock" Johnson and Chris Evans in the Christmas box-office hit " Red One, " and my old UM classmate Jim Messina, Max Baucus' former chief of staff and President Obama's Deputy Chief of Staff and successful 2012 Campaign Chairman who is probably now recovering and catching up on his sleep after making almost everyday appearances the last three months on CNN, MSNBC, and NBC as a political pundit.

And I am tired of hearing about Missoula student-athletes studying business at MSU, which I am sure offers fine undegrad business administration and related majors. A huge advantage for UM student-athletes like Marcus Weinel, Tyler Flink and Trevyn Gradney studying business @ Montana's flagship business school @ UM, is while on scholarship during their five year matriculation, they can earn a UM MBA while still on scholarship !!! ( MSU doesn't offer an MBA.)

There is always room for improvement, but The University of Montana is most definitely heading in the right direction under the dynamic leadership of West Point grad, Army Green Beret officer ( US Army Special Forces ), Iraq war veteran, and Rhodes Scholar himself, UM President Seth Bodner !!!

UM has a much higher percentage of NA's. Ha.

I think the fact that they are both increasing in NA enrollment is a good thing. Doesn't matter which school.

We just this year got back to our 2011 enrollment number.

The Lady GRIZ also just beat UDUB, The University of Washington Lady Huskies. of The Big 10, 82-68. and while they got their butts kicked in Minneapolis, at least The Lady GRIZ put 45 points on Minnesota's 7-0 Lady Gophers--Oregon State and UMass didn't make it out of the 30's against them probably because the other UM's Lady Gophers are kinda good, especially when eating home cooking !!!

It had a source. It was the link right under it. You can't read. You are stupid. Here it is.


"With an average enrollment of over 600 Native American students, the University of Montana perennially has the largest enrollment of Native American students in the Montana University System."

The link was in my original post and was also in your response to me. See below. You are stupid.

UM still has a very good NA program and connection to the reservations and community.

That's the link from Kyiho. Go to the original post of mine, and to your original response to me. The link is clearly that in those spots.

My google search says that MSU has over 800 NA students. That's more than 600. Every time I fact check you I find out you're lying.
