By the Office of Governor Pillen
LINCOLN, NE – Governor Jim Pillen issued the following statement, thanking University of Nebraska President Ted Carter for his service to the state:
“It was four years ago that I first met Ted Carter during the nationwide search to identify the next leader for the University of Nebraska. The leadership pillars established by the Board of Regents, which defined the expectations of the President’s job, spoke clearly to Ted and his skill set.
President Carter has been an extraordinary asset to NU students, faculty, staff members and our state taxpayers over the last three and a half years. Suzanne and I wish Ted and Lynda the best.
The role of NU President is one of great responsibility as well as great opportunity -- especially the ability to impact future generations. I know the role of NU President will speak to others very soon and we will gain another perfect fit for the university system.”
