Other ex-officio members will
include an affirmative action officer,
an administrative officer and a regent

Regent Don Blank of McCook
said die board will complete the elec

cio members at its November meet
search committee should
meet by mid-November, he said.
Within 14 days of their meeting, re
gents and committee members
should know what type of person they
are looking for as president
Blank said be thinks the board
should “seriously consider" hiring
an outside consultant Krassist in the
search. In September, the board heard
reports from three potential consult
ant firms who also could have as

fhouM bo examined.
These areas include updating of
the NU role and mission statement/;;
clarification of board and CEO rela
tionship; re-evaluation of Central
administration in areas of function,
efficiency and personnel; and an
ongoing system of long-range plan

• Most treated tae admission ot
Kearney State College as a foregone
conclusion, and think the system
would ftincdon adequately with the
Kearney addition
• A majority of respondents indi
cated this is not a time to consider
major changes in the system because
of uncertainties in the future of higher
education in Nebraska, or because

. •Several stated that the president
should not also serve as a chancellor,
It was aconsensuTihat the chan
cellors should have relative auton
omy over management of students,
facilities and academic functions.
The president and central administra
tion should be concerned with long
range plans, coordinated services and
strategies consistent with the role and
mission statements.
Blank said the responses were
“very thought-provoking. ■* ’ The
board should study the responses
thoroughly, and begin to formulate
their criteria for a new president, he
said.
The completion of the question
naire does not mean the end of die
self-analysis process ?*by any stretch
of the imagination,” Blank said.
However, he said, the board now
can move forward to begin the me
chanics of ths presidential search.

The mai l concerns raised by op
ponents of the official vote in other
suites included students’ lack of ex
perience and maturity and a possible
conflict of interest, he said.
But, he said, those arguments are
easily rebutted.
mil, who 1* UNL’s student regent,
said that last year's granting of an
unofficial vote for studbt regents has
shown that they arc able to iiandk; the
responsibilities of an official vote.
'That forced us to do our home
work and trice a stand," he said. "We
can handle some type of greater vote
in university governance.
