Board puts its future in danger
The North Dakota Board of Higher Education has put its future at risk. Controversy involving the board over the past several years put the eight-member group on shaky footing with the Legislature and the public. As a result, North Dakota voters will go to the polls in November 2014 to decide whether to keep the current board system with eight members or switch to three commissioners appointed by the governor.By Bismarck Tribune , June 19, 2013
Civil rights goal is right for Fargo
Fargo Mayor Dennis Walaker has taken a curious and out-of-character position on a city ordinance proposed by City Commissioner Melissa Sobolik that would ban discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Unlike a proposed ordinance in Grand Forks, the Fargo measure would apply to all city residents, not just city employees.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , June 17, 2013

Other Views: GF schools should ask for language immersion
Call up the “Directory of Foreign Language Immersion Programs,” click on Minnesota, and you’ll find a state that’s trying to make strides.

Other Views: Pageants make winners in life
Across the nation, beauty pageants for children have taken a lot of heat. Thanks largely to television shows that show parents pushing young children to train, diet and compete in pageants, most of them have received a bad reputation.By Williston Herald, Williston , June 10, 2013

Shirvani makes off with golden parachute
The North Dakota Board of Higher Education is going to have a tough time explaining the astonishingly generous severance package granted departing university system Chancellor Hamid Shirvani. While it appears the board is bound by the chancellor’s contract, reaction among most North Dakotans will be, understandably, outrage.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , June 07, 2013
Taking the edge off the oil boom
North Dakota saw a 28.7 percent increase in taxable sales in 2012. It’s the most common way to measure the performance of the state’s economy, and that kind of increase, compared to the rest of the nation, is exemplary. The fourth quarter of 2012 was up 9.7 percent when compared to the same period in the prior year. In other words, the state’s surging, boom economy has started to slow.By Bismarck Tribune , June 06, 2013
Put film incentives on agenda
North Dakota will never become the film capital of North America, but the state has the potential and the resources to gain consideration by the television and film industry as a good location to make TV shows and movies. That’s not happening now because North Dakota does not promote itself as a good place to make a movie, and hasn’t done so effectively or consistently for years.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , June 05, 2013
Ignore this stuff at your peril
The crime news from North Dakota’s booming oil counties paints a mixed and often manipulated picture of what is happening out there. It’s not all that bad or it’s out of control. It’s the media’s focus on the negative or local see-no-evil cheerleading.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , June 04, 2013
Other Views: Bachmann calls it quits
It looks like the gosh-darned liberal media won’t have Michele Bachmann to kick around anymore.

Call it a sign of the times
Whatever spin one puts on the “North Dakota Open for Business” billboard in Moorhead, the reaction from some (certainly not all) residents of the city is immature and parochial.By The Forum of Fargo-Moorhead , May 30, 2013
