2. This is horrible.

You don’t send your kid to a college because the administration has fundraising ability. Good grief. Bozeman is very much like Missoula (home of the University of Montana)...the cost of living is high and wages are relatively low by comparison. The average home price in Bozeman is $440K...nobody making $11 per hour is buying a home there. Commissioner Clay Christian, along with several other Board Of Regents members were caught overspending for luxury travel, accommodations and dining etc on the public dime last year. Christian apologized and promised to pay the funds back but he clearly doesn’t have student interest at heart here. I’m just shocked by this.
