## Resource

Nebraska’s flagship university braces for a $13.9 million budget slash—nearly 5% of its system—driven by Governor Jim Pillen’s push for fiscal restraint and hiring freezes, aimed at easing taxpayer burdens. Chancellor Katherine S. Ankerson calls it a “serious setback,” warning of stalled classroom upgrades, tech investments, and infrastructure projects. As the state grapples with competing priorities, the university must now pivot to maintain educational quality amid tightening funds.
