The University of Nebraska’s budget is set to receive a slight increase in funding, with the appropriations committee agreeing to a 1.25% increase for one year. This is less than the 2.5% increase that the university had requested, but appropriations chair Robert Clements stated that the university can request an increase for the following year. Previously, Governor Jim Pillen had proposed a 2% cut in funding for the university, but eventually agreed to the 1.25% increase.
The change in funding will result in $44 million being returned to state lawmakers to help balance the budget. This decision comes after negotiations and discussions about the university’s financial needs. Overall, this slight increase in funding is seen as a positive step for the University of Nebraska, allowing them to continue providing quality education and resources for their students.
