You have no idea what kind of outreach or tone the UST administration has communicated with to other MIAC schools.
UST has ambition, something this market is often suspicious of. They want to grow into something bigger while St. Olaf and many others within the MIAC want to stay the same. Both approaches are fine, so long as stakeholders are being served.
Signing up to be an MIAC member shouldnt consign one to an eternity of sameness. Thats actually pretty ridiculous to me.
UND comp is horrendous. Id delete that if I were you. Thats a school that was behind the times and not understanding the impact a name can have on a community. USTs model is progressive, by MIAC standards. Would love to see Bethel follow suit.

If UST has ambition, this is sure a funny way to show it. What they demonstrated is more like living in your parents basement and refusing to leave until they kick you out of the house. This is ambition? If I desired to leave the MIAC, I could sure think of a lot of better ways to standup and leave. Kinda chicken-**** if this is all orchestrated.
The comp is lack of self awareness, and no Ill share my opinion without deleting.
