Faculty across campus are outraged by these short-sighted cuts of essential units at UNL. Graduate programs in most units are also being decimated. We are losing a generation of scientists, scholars, designers, artists, and others. Some are losing everything but all Nebraskans lose with these cuts.

This situation is certainly not the fault of the faculty. Administrators and elected officials shut us out of the process and colossally failed our state. The APC hearings and Friday’s meeting testimony do not equal shared governance. All Nebraskans lose with these cuts.

Join us in Kearney on Wednesday for a discussion on tree-planting, fire, how world view shapes environmental policy, loving the land where you live, and how these ideas shape my artistic process.

The irony of your tireless and excellent reporting while your academic program is threatened is not lost on me. Keep up the good work. Student journalism is an important part of our fractured media ecosystem and must continue to be supported.

Senator Megan Hunt is a very important voice in our increasingly conservative state legislature. She's an Independent who speaks truth to power on this subject and others, but anti-trans legisltion effects her personally and her testimony is especially powerful.

He also voted to defund the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (NPR+PBS.) Looks like he has a conflict of interest…

A look at the candidates: Democrats kick off 2026 campaigns for 'blue dot' District 2 seat Democrats see an opportunity to gain a seat on the House of Representatives in Nebraska in 2026.

Four Democrats have announced their campaigns to win Congressman Don Bacon's NE 2 seat: John Cavanaugh, Mark Johnston, Evangelos Argyrakis, and Denise Powell. www.ketv.com/article/nebr...
Now we need someone to run against Mike Flood (NE 1)
