Summary
Dr. Jeffrey Gold, president of the University of Nebraska System, delivered a powerful warning: without urgent financial support, the state’s only public university system will be forced to cut essential services that serve Nebraskans through education, research, and outreach. Despite years of budget cuts and remarkable achievements—including joint accreditation, a new medical governance model, $500M in donations, and global conferences—faculty and staff have pushed “do more with less” to the breaking point. Gold emphasized the system’s $10 return for every dollar invested and highlighted campus wins like an $18M materials grant at UNL, Nebraska Medicine’s 10,000th transplant, Omaha’s national community recognition, and Kearney’s new rural health hub. He’s now calling on listeners to share personal stories proving the university’s life-changing impact—and urging lawmakers to act before Nebraska’s future is compromised.
