FARGO — North Dakota State University President Dean Bresciani has been censured by teaching staff for picking an administrator to fill his No. 2 spot even though she didn’t go through the hiring process that attracted more than 100 candidates.
In a 21-13 vote, the Faculty Senate passed the resolution Monday, Feb. 8, that condemned Bresciani’s move to appoint Margaret Fitzgerald as the university’s provost in October. Four members abstained.
