A harsh reset for US higher ed? Nebraska’s largest public university plans major cuts and tuition hike

Tuition will increase for both in-state and out-of-state students starting in 2025-26. Academic programs may be cut or merged as the university seeks to diversify revenue streams and address budget shortfalls, mirroring a national trend in public higher education.
