An upcoming meeting of the Nebraska Board of Regents originally scheduled for today (Jan. 9) has been rescheduled for Jan. 15.
The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. and will take place in the boardroom at Varner Hall, 3835 Holdrege St., as well as via livestream.
A full agenda will be available on the University of Nebraska website by 5 p.m. on Jan. 9.
The board will consider the same agenda items as initially planned, including a proposal to shift Nebraska Medicine from dual-member governance by the University of Nebraska and Clarkson Regional Health Services (CRHS) to single-member governance by the University of Nebraska. The opportunity for the shift in governance came about after Clarkson Regional Health Services alerted the university that it intended to withdraw its interest in Nebraska Medicine. CRHS and the university have been dual members in what is now Nebraska Medicine since 1997 and have partnered on efforts to provide clinical care and medical educational opportunities since the 1950s.
The meeting was rescheduled in order to optimize meeting participation and to provide more time for members of the community, patients, state leaders and other stakeholders to better understand the proposal.
