Burgum fills 2 seats on state Board of Higher Education

BISMARCK, N.D. (AP) — North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum has reappointed Nick Hacker to the state Board of Higher Education and named Timothy Mihalick to fill the remaining term of a board member who quit.

Hacker, of Bismarck, will serve another four-year term. He has been on the board since 2015 and is currently vice chair of the group.
