State of the University Address, 2017

In his annual address, NDSU President Dean L. Bresciani praised faculty and staff as the university bounces back from a major cut in its biennial budget. NDSU weathered a 17 percent cut in state support as thoughtfully and creatively as possible, but Bresciani noted the university is down 149 faculty and staff from a year ago through retirements or positions being eliminated or unfilled.
