A statement from University of Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éSystem 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 Ãå±±ÂÖ¼émore competitive and innovative for the future. The University of Ãå±±ÂÖ¼éplays 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."
