I agree that it's a bit of a bad look for a non-employee of UM requesting those things, especially with all of the data privacy issues going on in other industries, but as long as the data is anonymized and all regulations are followed, the data itself shouldn't be a problem. And if the data isn't a problem, this isn't nearly as bad as it seems. There's nothing to suggest that Elander has possessed or given compromising data to anyone.
It also amazes me how transparent the Missoulian's disdain for UM is.
No, I totally agree. If the data collected contains non-anonymized identifiers of real prospective or current students in conjunction with extremely personal information, and if Elander has/had that data, or gave it it anyone else, that is a huge problem.GrizLA said:uofmman1122 said:Kind of a petty parting shot, to be sure.

It isn't the data collecting that is the problem but what and who will it be for and just why would UM be interested in the religion of a student? With the Facebook stuff going on, I would think people would be a bit more cautious about data and how it is handled. I do not see anything wrong for the Missoulian or any newspaper making all this public. After all, UM is a public institution. I think Crady is absolutely correct. I know nothing about UM's new President other than what comes in the mail and I am happy his wife is dedicated to the U, but is she really entitled to access records or have them given her? Somehow, that just doesn't sound right even if it is meant for the success of a project. Is she bondable or should she be?

Bodnar takes a massive step in the right direction and takes the Messina Group up in its offer of help....very smart IMO.
Bodnar's wife becomes the middle party connecting the two when university folks sit on their hands and provide no assistance to the Messina Group. This Group needs relevant data to do their thing and do it well and Bodnar's wife was only trying to speed that process up and move it along. I appreciate her passion and appreciate the fact this president and leaders are sick of watching the UM flounder.

sounds to me like another instance of mr and mrs bodnar not knowing how a university works, and also, seemingly, not caring about the appearance of nepotism. would you like it if your bosses' wife, who has no identifiable relevant experience and answers to no one in your firm, started requesting detailed client records, etc? this actually looks quite bad, especially if she hasn't taken all the student (and prospective student) privacy training required of everyone else in the university. in case you haven't noticed, it is the university of montana, not bodnar state. it doesn't surprise me that you don't see the gross arrogance and potential illegalities in her actions, and how that would rub some the wrong way, but that's what the bodnar's are seemingly up to. another lesson for the non-academic to learn...

why didn't bodnar just appoint a university employee to be the liason? that would be the smart thing to do. instead, it sounds to me like his wife deemed herself fit for the job and just inserted herself in the mix.
as a comparison, how do you feel about jared and ivanka's positions in the government? were they qualified?
