Copy of Regents promise to be ‘more cautious’ in finding a home for next NU president
Jack Gould, Board Issues chairman for watchdog group Common Cause Nebraska, argued the wisest decision on the board’s part would be to forgo buying a house – or providing a stipend for one – altogether. “There is this huge list of perks that we give to administrators and coaches,” he said. “It’s a list that (can include) everything from a house to an expense account to lawn and maid service. All of this stuff that comes to them is a contradiction to the fact that they’re out there talking about keeping costs down for students. They’re living a lifestyle that is not in any way consistent with a student working three jobs to try to get through school.”
