University of Minnesota, Crookston changing with the times
The University of Minnesota, Crookston has undergone an amazing transformation in the last half century from a residential agricultural high school to a two-year technical college and now a four-year university. The university, which opened in 1906 as the Northwest School of Agriculture, transitioned from a two-year technical institute into a four-year university offering baccalaureate degree programs in 1993.

EERC follows aggressive expansion plan
The University of North Dakota's Energy and Environmental Research Center is so unique that it is a little difficult to place it in just one category. The Grand Forks, ND-based high tech nonprofit is a division of the University of North Dakota and conducts research, development, demonstration and commercialization activities, but operates more like a business than most nonprofits.

The summer season is the slow news season so your local newspaper tries to earn its keep with enterprise stories, which are the kinds of stories that we come up with when we go, "Huh, what's there interesting to write about?" For the City Beat, it's a good time to talk to the brains at UN

If you're not sick of reading about rural health care yet, here's a list of suggestions from Dr. Richard Johnson, the Devils Lake radiologist who inspired the rural health care story. I found the list, dated April 15, while cleaning out my desk and thought it worth repeating here since some of

Quickies: The debate over the McChrystal story
Here's an interesting proposal for making higher education more affordable: Instead of borrowing money, sell shares of yourself to investors. The argument is that it's very risky to get a loan for a college education when you have no idea how easily you could repay that loa

So the City Beat finally got around to reporting the year end number of flight operations at Grand Forks International Airport and it was as impressive as airport director Patrick Dame promised me last month. The 347,533 takeoffs and landings -- those are what "operations" are -- in 2009

Talk of a cabinet position for Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., after he retires from the Senate made me curious. What positions are out there? There's this list of some of the bigger ones. There's this list of cabinet-level positions and who's in them. Wonder which ones will step down by next year
