A statement from University of Nebraska System President Ted Carter on Governor Pillen's State of the State address:
"I want to thank Governor Pillen for his positive consideration of the University of Nebraska’s budget request, including his support for the Rural Health Education Building at UNK. We brought forward a modest request to help fund our basic operations and keep tuition affordable. The Governor’s budget proposal puts us in a good position as we look toward conversations with the Appropriations Committee and full Legislature in the months ahead.
"We share the Governor’s goal to make Nebraska more competitive and innovative for the future. The University of Nebraska plays a crucial role in that vision. We look forward to working closely with Governor Pillen and state leaders to achieve our shared goals for Nebraska’s success."
