I Don’t Hate America!

From the old news that we missed department, MnSCU announced last week that David Olson, president of the Mnnesota chamber of commerce, was elected chair of the system’s Board of Trustees. Ruth Grendahl will be vice chair and Scott Thiss will grab the reins as treasurer taking over for former, ahem, I mean, current, ahem, I mean, soon departing four-year university student trustee Michael Boulton.

The replacement for Boulton, who’s term was scheduled to conclude June 30, has yet to be announced. I am sure candidates Adam Weigold, Ezra Kazee and Luke Hellier are all anxious to find out, not to mention the 70,000 some-odd students at Minnesota’s state unviersities being left hanging.

Is Gov. Tim Pawlenty really trying to wait for the brouhaha to settle down before making an appointment? Did the rounds of golf with other governors in Michigan take up too much of his time?

Really T-Paw, what gives?
