FARGO, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota University System leaders and college presidents will go without pay raises for the third straight year.
The state Board of Higher Education on Tuesday voted to extend the contracts of eight of the 10 presidents through 2019 at their current salaries. The move did not apply to the University of North Dakota’s Mark Kennedy, whose contract was already valid through 2019, and Williston State College’s John Miller, who was named to the post during Tuesday’s meeting.
Most of the presidents last received pay increases in 2014, most of which were 3 percent.
The board approved the salaries after meeting behind closed doors for about 90 minutes. Board member Kevin Melicher, of Fargo, says that the university system needs to work toward staying competitive so it doesn’t lose people.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — The North Dakota Board of Higher Education has named John Miller president at Williston State University.
Miller has been acting president at the school since June 2016, when Ray Nadolny abruptly walked away from the job after originally planning to stay through the 2017 school year.
Miller came to Williston State in 2015 as the school’s vice president of academic affairs. He had previously served as an instructional dean at Southern Idaho.
The board on Tuesday voted to appoint Miller rather than go through a traditional search process. University System Chancellor Mark Hagerott says Miller has proven himself under difficult financial circumstances and deserves the job.
The board directed Hagerott to lead the negotiations for Miller’s salary.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Republican Gov. Doug Burgum is applauding the Trump administration’s steps to roll back an Obama administration policy that expanded protections for some state streams, tributaries and wetlands.
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers on Tuesday outlined a process for rescinding a 2015 regulation that defines which waterways are covered under the Clean Water Act.
The Obama administration’s policy protected more than half the nation’s streams from pollution. Environmentalists say the rule was essential to protecting water for human consumption and wildlife. But farmers, fossil fuel companies and property-rights groups criticized the move.
Burgum called the former president’s policy an “egregious example of regulatory overreach.”
MINOT, N.D. (AP) — The city of Minot has hired a Minneapolis law firm to look at legal options regarding two problem-plagued downtown parking ramps.
The city has spent millions more than intended on the Renaissance ramp and the Central ramp, and contractors are behind in completing exterior and alley work.
The ramps opened in 2016 after years of construction marked by contractor disputes and delays. The original bid was $10.5 million, but the ramps ended up costing nearly double that.
City Manager Tom Barry says no legal action has begun, but he considers legal representation critical to protecting the city’s investment. He told the City Council earlier this month that the contractor is balking at finishing the structures as originally designed.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A bug that’s an enemy to front yard flower beds, backyard vegetable gardens, farmers’ crops and even golf courses has been found again in North Dakota.The Agriculture Department says the Japanese beetle larvae were found in nursery stock shipped to North Dakota. The beetles were found in several locations, including Bismarck, that received shipments from a Minneapolis-area supplier.
They’ve been found in the state before. But North Dakota State University entomologist Janet Knodel says the state likely now has an established population of the destructive beetle. It’s been moving steadily westward since being first found in the U.S. in New Jersey a century ago.
The beetle can be controlled with insecticides. But Knodel says it still causes about $450 million in damage each year in the U.S.
BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — A onetime Three Affiliated Tribes chairman has been sentenced to six months of probation on an assault charge.Marcus Levings, also known as Marcus Wells Jr., pleaded guilty in March to assault by wounding.
Authorities say Levings punched his wife in the mouth during an argument on July 3, 2016.
Levings, of New Town, was chairman of the Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara Nation from 2006 through 2010.
VELVA, N.D. (AP) — A historic building along Main Street in Velva is being demolished this week.The 112-year-old Welo Building had housed everything from a barber shop to an opera house. School graduation ceremonies were even held there at one time.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Manager Joe Maddon and some of the Chicago Cubs will visit the White House on Wednesday, though it’s not an official visit with President Donald Trump.
Maddon said Tuesday that he was going out of respect for the Ricketts family, which owns the Cubs and donated to Trump’s campaign. Maddon said it was voluntary for players and not an official trip.
The Cubs are in Washington to play the Nationals.
The White House visit is so unofficial that Maddon said it’s only “a possibility” that he and the Cubs will see Trump. The team visited President Barack Obama at the White House as World Series champions in January before the end of his term.
Amid questions about whether the NBA champion Golden State Warriors will visit Trump, Maddon said he isn’t making a political statement by going.
MURRAY-EXHIBITION…
LONDON (AP) — Andy Murray has withdrawn from an exhibition match in London because of a sore hip, less than a week before the start of Wimbledon.

The top-ranked Murray had been scheduled to play two matches at the Aspall Tennis Classic exhibition event at Hurlingham Club this week following his first-round loss at the Queen’s grass-court tournament last week.
Murray, who won the Wimbledon title last year, is still planning to play the second exhibition match Friday.
Wimbledon starts Monday.
In world and national news…
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump is taking issue with a New York Times story that portrays him as disengaged in the push for the Senate Republican health care bill. The Times also reported that an unidentified senator who left a White House meeting with the president thinking Trump did not understand the Senate bill. Early Wednesday, Trump tweeted that “Some of the Fake News Media likes to say that I am not totally engaged in healthcare. Wrong, I know the subject well & want victory for U.S.”
CARACAS, Venezuela (AP) — Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro says an attack on the country’s Supreme Court and Interior Ministry was an attempt to oust him from power, but the assault was thwarted and no one was killed. Maduro says that while he was speaking live on state television Tuesday, a police helicopter fired on the pro-government court with grenades. Social media identifies the chopper pilot as Oscar Perez, who has called for a rebellion against Maduro’s “tyranny.”
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump’s former campaign chairman has registered with the Justice Department as a foreign agent for political consulting work he did for a Ukrainian political party. Paul Manafort acknowledges in the filing that he coached party members on how to interact with U.S. government officials. He says in the filing his firm received more than $17 million from the former pro-Russian ruling party in Ukraine for consulting work from 2012 through 2014.
GANZHOU, China (AP) — One current and two former employees at the Chinese factory that makes shoes for Ivanka Trump have told The Associated Press that workers endure abuse, overtime that stretches past midnight and low pay. The group China Labor Watch says the factory forced workers to sign fake pay stubs with inflated salary numbers, among other allegations. The Huajian Group, which owns the factory, says allegations against it are “completely not true to the facts, taken out of context, exaggerated.”
BEIJING (AP) — The newly arrived U.S. ambassador to Beijing says Nobel Peace Prize laureate Liu Xiaobo should be allowed to receive treatment outside China after being diagnosed with late-stage cancer while imprisoned for advocating democratic reforms. Ambassador Terry Branstad said Chinese authorities should allow Liu Xiaobo to seek treatment elsewhere “if it would be of help.”
