Ronnie Green: New funding plan will help all NU campuses - Omaha World-Herald

NU President Hank Bounds, my fellow chancellors Dr. Jeffrey Gold and Doug Kristensen and our chief business and academic officers, aided by data from independent higher education finance experts and in consultation with the Board of Regents, have spent over a year analyzing our state appropriations allocation model. We’ve concluded that our current practice, in place since the 1990s, is no longer the fairest approach for distributing our limited state dollars. Going into the next biennium, we will take steps to close the fairness gap, taking into consideration factors such as student credit-hour production, the cost of delivering courses, the size and scale of our institutions and the unique role and mission of each campus. http://www.omaha.com/opinion/ronnie-green-new-funding-plan-will-help-all-nu-campuses/article_a8e2a49a-2de1-5d7e-ab8b-89dcdb7df524.html
