"As a legislator, I have made it a priority to ensure the University of Nebraska has the flexibility and resources it needs to continue its tradition of excellence. The success of the University is critical to our success as a state. Huskers for Higher Education is a fantastic way to stay informed about these issues and communicate with your elected officials. Personal communications from constituents and citizens is the most persuasive communication we receive as policymakers and Huskers for Higher Education makes that communication fast and easy."
