MSU President Wants UND’s Position
Minot State University President Steven Shirley wants to take over UND.
Shirley has applied to succeed the retired UND President Robert Kelley.
Shirley is also a former president of Valley City State University.
A presidential search committee last week narrowed the list of candidates from 41 to 15 but decided to continue accepting applications.
A University System spokeswoman says the committee will meet Thursday to decide if any applications submitted before the noon Wednesday cutoff will be considered, including Shirley’s application.
