"Nebraska Regents Respond to Criticism, Seek Replacement for Departed AD Trev Alberts"

The NU Board of Regents responded to Gov. Jim Pillen's criticism of their handling of the search for a new University of Nebraska system president following Trev Alberts' departure, stating that the search has been consistent in length with past searches and emphasizing the importance of taking the time needed to find the best leader. Regent Schafer and Regent Wilmot defended the process and declined to accept blame for Alberts' departure, citing the contract entered with him last fall. They expressed their focus on supporting Husker Athletics and looking ahead to the future.
