NDSU President Now Being Escorted By Personal Bodyguard

This is rather unprecedented in the world of North Dakota politics.  I’m not even sure how often the governor uses a bodyguard, if ever.

There is something to be said for earning a decent living, but NDSU President Joe Chapman is living in territory far beyond that, on the backs of taxpayers and college students.  He has a million-dollar home, a six-figure salary, and now, his own bodyguard.

It’s simply unprecedented for public figures in this state to take such extreme precautions.  The excuse for this latest excess was an upset student barging into his home.  Embarassing yes, but is he really in danger?

Chapman is either paranoid or not revealing to the public why he is spending yet more of our money.

I’ll say the public deserves an explanation.
