Court decision may hinder Nebraska higher education data push
State Supreme Court ruling on University of Nebraska regents' power could curb the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education. Sam Jensen warns the commission may need new legislation to compel the university to supply data for a uniform system and to pursue statewide role and mission statements. He urges collaboration with the Legislature and Gov. Exon to secure authority, or the commission risks reverting to weaker powers. The panel meets Friday to discuss exam authority over course offerings and a Maharishi University Center request in Lincoln and Omaha.
