30 Apr SBHE statement on internal review
Over the weekend, records were released to the media from the Ray Holmberg investigation. The State Board of Higher Education learned, at the same time as the public, that individuals previously affiliated with our institutions or board, may have had a connection to the criminal investigation of former Senator Holmberg. Immediately upon learning of this information, the SBHE, in conjunction with our institutional leaders, began an internal review of records to determine if there were any violations of policy or law or a failure to report misconduct. We intend to be proactive and diligent, and the scope of our internal review will be comprehensive. This will take time, but we will be transparent with any findings that may result from the internal review. Our number one priority is the safety of our campus communities. We encourage anyone who has information pertaining to misconduct or a failure to report misconduct perpetrated by a SBHE member or NDUS employee, to make a report to an institution’s Title IX office, or the NDUS Office of Compliance and Ethics.
