the second item to come up on a Google search for dUMb research

UM Research Studies Relationship Between Sheep-Grazing, Native Plant Recovery

I wonder what other research they are doing with those sheep....................

Take sheep out to dinner (on native plants, MJ growing in ditch beside road)
Take sheep home
Sheep say baaaa (does this translate to NO?)
Sheep get lucky

While I'm no fan of UM and will never laud its academic credentials, Bodnar was not claiming UM's research dollars exceed MSU's research dollars. MSU and UM are both classified as, or are considered to be, "research universities." With that in mind, I think he was expressing his opinion that UM is the flagship amongst Montana's research universities. He was selling his product--something he has to do in order to save the sinking ship.

The above jokes about UM's research are hilarious, though.

Yes. That’s exactly what is says. Definition of flagship states biggest or best. Can’t be biggest. Must be he thinks best. Either he should state sources that indicate the u is best or state in his humble opinion.

Well IMHO anyway

I understand what he is doing. We’ve seen the best create their own reality for 2+ years now.

My question is do we want to let our university system sink to the same low our political system has?

The buffoon who wrote the article from the Flathead Beacon doesn’t even know what STEM stands for. He thinks the E stands for education.


UM is the university equivalent of Axe Body Spray and essential oils.
