I’m grateful to members of the Legislature for their strong support of affordable, excellent education for the 53,000 students of the ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø of Nebraska. Chairman Stinner, Vice Chairwoman Bolz and members of the Appropriations Committee showed great leadership in making higher education a priority, and many of their colleagues in the body were passionate champions for the value the ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø brings to Nebraska’s economy and quality of life. While we still face difficult budget cuts, the funding approved by the Legislature would allow the ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø to maintain our affordability and continue our momentum in serving students and the people of our state.
Hank Bounds
President, ·¬ÇÑÉçÇø of Nebraska
