Nebraska Universities Seek Funding Amid Cuts | Lincoln News

Nebraska’s universities are asking for a major funding boost to survive the next two years, as they slash degrees in ethnic studies, urban studies, and even insect science—though students already enrolled can still finish. Meanwhile, the Nebraska College of Technical Agriculture gets a special cash infusion, and the entire system seeks a 4.25% annual budget hike to keep pace with inflation. President Dr. Jeffrey P. Gold warns that without more state support, cutting back will become unavoidable—and says keeping students home is a joint effort between the university and lawmakers. The request also includes restoring biomedical research cuts, funding an Ag Tech Incubator, upgrading the main computer system, and launching a Presidential Scholars Program.
