A transition with some uncertainty

A transition with some uncertainty

The State Board of Higher Education, anticipating this week’s action by the Legislature, directed UND to prepare for a transition away from Fighting Sioux, a transition that the board said should be substantially completed by Dec. 31.”We had a plan in place” for how to handle the various licensing and merchandising arrangements involving Fighting Sioux gear, said Peter Johnson, executive associate vice president for university relations. “But that was disrupted” when the Legislature passed a law requiring UND to keep using the nickname.Under that plan, “basically there would be no more production of clothing or other items after a certain date,”cheap jerseys Johnson said, “but that plan became moot when the Legislature took its action in the spring.”It’s one of the many issues likely to be assigned to a new transition team. 31.”We had a plan in place” for how to handle the various licensing and merchandising arrangements involving Fighting Sioux gear, said Peter Johnson, executive associate vice president for university relations. “But that was disrupted” when the Legislature passed a law requiring UND to keep using the nickname.Under that plan, “basically there would be no more production of clothing or other items after a certain date,” Johnson said, “but that plan became moot when the Legislature took its action in the spring.”It’s one of the many issues likely to be assigned to a new transition team.But Johnson confirmed what President Robert Kelley said back in April 2010, after he had received transition marching orders from the state board: Even when the nickname and logo pass into history, nobody will tell anybody they can’t wear a Fighting Sioux jersey to a hockey game.
