North Dakota University System General Counsel Murray G. Sagsveen is scheduled to present “Facts about the State Board of Higher Education, Constitutional Measure 3, and Accreditation” on Wednesday, Oct. 1, at 7 p.m. in NDSU’s Festival Concert Hall.

Measure 3 is a proposal on the Nov. 4 ballot to replace the current citizen-led, eight-member State Board of Higher Education with a three-member paid commission, restructuring the governance of the university system.

Sagsveen, who also holds titles of chief of staff and ethics officer for the system, is a graduate of Concordia College, Moorhead, Minnesota, and the University of North Dakota School of Law in Grand Forks, North Dakota. He is a Certified Association Executive, as well as a graduate of the Minnesota Executive Program at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota.

Sagsveen’s presentation is sponsored by the NDSU Faculty Senate and the NDSU Office of Accreditation, Assessment and Academic Advising.

NDSU is recognized as one of the nation's top 108 public and private universities by the Carnegie Commission on Higher Education.
