Can the University of Nebraska freeze tuition while facing major budget challenges?

Justin Solomon, candidate for the University of Nebraska Board of Regents in District 4, says he won’t vote to raise tuition if elected.
In a conversation with Dan Parsons, Solomon argues that the university must rethink how it operates, control costs and make higher education affordable for Nebraska families.

A former UNL student regent and first-generation college graduate, Solomon discusses:
    •    His pledge to oppose tuition increases — and how he’d pay for it
    •    University budget cuts and the elimination of academic programs
    •    Protecting academic freedom and scientific research
    •    His differences with opponent and former Nebraska First Lady Susanne Shore
    •    His experience leading an organization serving people with developmental disabilities
    •    His vision for rebuilding public trust in the University of Nebraska
District 4 represents much of eastern Omaha.
