the present system.
Another repeated concern was
whether to include a voting student
member on the proposed institutional
boards.
Deb Fiddclke, UNL Government
Liaison Committee chairman, said
that after meciing with university
student regents and stale college stu
dent trustees last week, it became
clear that the students of Nebraska
support LR2.39CA.
In less than one week, Fiddclke
said, more than 1,300 UNL, Univer
sity of Nebraska at Omaha and Kear
ney Stale College students signed
petitions supporting the student-re
gent vote and restructuring proposal.
‘‘We believe the recommendations
bring exciting changes to a system
that quite simply isn’t working as
well as it should,” Fiddclke said.
Students think the proposed sys
tem would be more responsive to
student concerns, she said.
Most importantly, students want
voting members on the proposed
boards, Fiddelke said.
' ‘Even the most dedicated of board
members could not have the firsthand
knowledge of campus issues that a
student would bring to the board,”
she said. *
Thirty-three states have provided
for direct student involvement in policy
decisions, Fiddelke said.
Fiddelke said Nebraska students
are the future business leaders, sena
tors and governors of Nebraska.
“Ail we ask for is more than an
opinion on what that future holds,”
Fiddelkc said.
KSC representatives supported the
bill, which includes changing the
institution’s name to the University
of Nebraska at Kearney. Two KSC
students said their institution is wor
thy of university status because of its
diverse curriculum, outstanding pro
fessors and growth.
Nancy Whitman, chairman of the
KSC Faculty Senate, said KSC is a
university because students attend it
from all parts of the world, country
and state.
Bill Ncsler, KSC president, said
he doesn’t sec any disadvantages to
the proposed seven institutional gov
erning boards.
Ncster said local boards are a
“viable vehicle” for better coopera
tion and communication among higher
education boards.
Nestor said there is no perfect
higher-education governance system
in the United Stales, but systems similar
to the proposed one have been suc
cessful in other slates.
Sen. Howard Lamb of Anselmo
said he doesn’t sec the necessity of
changing the current structure. In
stead, he suggested giving more au
thority to the Nebraska Post-Secon
dary Coordinating Commission, which
would provide for better coordination
of higher education in Nebraska, Lamb
said.
If the proposals pass, he said,
Nebraska will go through a long pe
riod of uncertainty about which boards
have authority.
Don Blank of McCook, chairman
of the NU Board of Regents, said the
board supports improved coordina
tion, but thinks the proposal “goes
beyond and dramatically alters” the
higher education system.
