    Paulsen\’s response is interesting. Too bad he missed the point (inclusion) as well as an opportunity to demonstrate a real committment to diversity.

    This decision is just one more slap in the face for the Native Americans who have/do/will attend UND. I believe the panel should include someone who can ask the pertinent questions concerning Native Americans and how the new president can help this group feel more welcome at UND
