A group of about 20 protesters gathered for a march from the UCM Administration Building to Selmo Park, the home of the university president, Wednesday morning. Judy Nold (center) said she thought that UCM President Aaron Podolefsky, whose contract expires June 30, was not treated fairly when the Board of Governors elected not to renew his contract. "He's done a good job, as far as I can tell," Nold said. "I think there are ulterior motives behind it." Nold is an alumna of the university as are several of her children.
