Just imagine in another department at say Harvard Medical School. “We at Harvard School of medicine have no medical doctors or anyone involved with medicine on our staff. Which makes us a leader in the medical field!”
And it’s all the schools not just UND.
I tend to agree.
I don't see allot of highly accomplished folks in universities. The highly accomplished folks had or are having great careers and are living their dream. When they are done with all that, time to hit the beach and go bikini watching.
It's hard to imagine many retired senior 777 Captains going back in time schlepping it at some university trying to explain the obvious and having to deal with a bunch of academics and then having to deal with university politics and the bureaucracy of fighting for resources.
