Bear Paw Development Corporation is a private non-profit organization created for the purpose of administering programs to help improve regional economic conditions in Hill, Blaine, Liberty, Chouteau and Phillips Counties and the Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy's Indian Reservations.

I do not know anyone in higher education who does not accept the need for performance evaluation. Those I know also believe in accountability to stakeholders, including taxpayers who provide funding — albeit a diminishing share of budget needs — to public institutions. So, as an experienced and worn-out warrior from those minefields where academic and political imperatives clash, I wish here to urge not all-out resistance, but caution, as the regents, the governor and legislative leaders get set to implement their agreement to impose new performance measures on Montana’s public universities.
