Lincoln Journal Star | October 25, 2026 By Tom Nesbitt The University of Nebraska Board of Regents is a nonpartisan office. Candidates do not run with a political party designation beside their names, and that is intentional. The university should be governed with the interests of students, taxpayers, faculty and the state of Nebraska placed ahead of partisan politics. Brent Comstock, a candidate for the District 1 seat on the Board of Regents, has emphasized that point him

Lincoln Journal Star | October 25, 2026 By Perry Andrew Pirsch, Ashland As a three-time University of Nebraska graduate, I believe our university benefits from leaders who can build coalitions, work across ideological differences, and keep academics — not politics, personal gain or political correctness — as the focus of the university system. I've known Dr. Jeremy Hosein for over two decades and we've worked together constructively in state government to ensure best practi

Lincoln Journal Star | October 17, 2026 By Regents Paul Kenney, Rob Schafer, Jim Scheer and Kathy Wilmot People are right to be concerned about politics and the University of Nebraska. The Board of Regents is nonpartisan for a reason: its work should serve students and Nebraska, not a political party, and that is the clear reason why Dr. Jeremy Hosein is the right choice for District 1 voters. The University faces consequential decisions about affordability, academic excellen

Dave Nabity Live in the KCRO Studio every Saturday Morning from 6-9am This past weekend I spoke with Dave Nabity on pressing issues facing the University and my plan for its future. The stakes are high and this next generation of Regents are going to be making big decisions ahead on how to create a more sustainable and prosperous University Nebraska.

Lincoln Journal Star | September 23, 2026 Nebraskans invest in the University of Nebraska with their tuition, taxes, work and loyalty. They deserve a university that puts students first, uses public resources responsibly, and protects opportunity. I'm the son of immigrants whose University of Nebraska education opened doors I could not have imagined. My wife, Dawn, and I are raising our three children here, and I want Nebraska families to have that same opportunity. Our unive

Omaha World Herald | July 11, 2026 Getting back to civil discourse to ensure universities are where disagreement sharpens thinking rather than destroy relationships LINCOLN, Neb. —I remember watching the 2008 presidential campaign when a woman at a town hall told Senator John McCain she could not trust Senator Barack Obama because he was “an Arab.” Senator McCain took the microphone back and replied, “No, ma’am. He’s a decent family man and citizen that I just happen to have

Last week I joined Mike Smith on 93.7 The Ticket Culture + Coffee . We talked political discourse, issues in higher education, and a lack of creativity in leadership thinking. Nebraskans value common sense and straight talkers. They value trust and honesty. They know authenticity when they see it, and they feel when you genuinely you care about them. With the state of discourse today, people aren’t talking about the hard stuff. Polarization breeds malaise, a lack of creativit
