Chancellor's budget message to faculty, staff and students: Dear Friends of Higher Education, As chancellor of the North Dakota University System, one of my top priorities is to facilitate an engaged dialogue with key constituents of higher education. It is my goal to create opportunities for open discussion and an exchange of ideas. To that end, I am providing you a link, http://www.ndus.nodak.edu/reports/default.asp?ID=524 , to a video message created to communicate with faculty, staff and students about the University System's 2009-11 budget request. -- William Goetz, Chancellor, North Dakota University System.
