LINCOLN- The University of Nebraska Board of Regents has seemingly landed on a temporary replacement for outgoing NU President Ted Carter. Chris Kabourek, NU's vice president for business and finance, is expected to be named interim president after the Board's December 1st meeting, at least according to several NU officials.

Carter leaves the NU System in January to lead Ohio State University, and announced his departure in August. Carter said that NU will "be in good hands with Chris Kabourek at the helm," as he bring "steady leadership" and offered him "wise and candid counsel" during his tenure as president of the NU System.

However, NU officials confirmed on Thursday that Kabourek will not be a candidate for the permanent job. Kabourek described being considered for the interim role as "humbling," and said he plans to continue making progress on plans developed by Carter and the Board of Regents. "I will do whatever I can to support the University of Nebraska," he said.
