Daily Plains, apparently Fargo Republican/ Representative and Former
NDSU Graduate Al Carlson has told UND to stand down on the Fighting Sioux logo retirement and not retire the
Fighting Sioux logo until the law has been repealed.
Chuck Haga; Grand Forks Herald --- Rep. Al Carlson, R-Fargo, has written to UND President Robert Kelley and the president of the State Board of Higher Education, objecting to the board’s action Aug. 15 directing Kelley to have the anticipated transition from the Fighting Sioux nickname “substantially complete” by the end of the year.
Carlson, the House majority leader and author of a law that says UND’s athletic teams shall be known as the Fighting Sioux, called the board’s action “a slap in the face” of the Legislature.
“When we pass a law, you’re supposed to abide by the law until it’s changed,” he said Monday.
Here is a copy of the Al Carlson letter in question. You can also
