| ND Board Settles College Presidents` House Money |
| 11/19/2009 |
| The state Board of Higher Education says it has resolved a dispute on cost overruns for new presidents` houses at North Dakota State University and the University of North Dakota. Both houses were estimated to cost about $900,000, and were to be financed with private money. The board refused to allow state money to be used for the overruns, which amounted to more than $500,000 at NDSU and more than $261,000 at UND. The NDSU Development Foundation agreed to cover all but about $196,000 of the extra costs. The board approved a plan Thursday that calls for the balance to be paid from NDSU funds that are not part of tuition or general fund dollars. The board said the UND costs, which include construction of a nearby alumni center, will be paid by private donations. Board faculty adviser Jon Jackson said the board had to put the issue behind it. |
