LINCOLN- On Thursday, the University of Nebraska Board of Regents announced that they would finally be inviting applications and nominations for the ninth president of the NU System. In a letter to all faculty and staff, Board Chairman Tim Clare noted that the position profile, which outlines the qualities NU is looking for in its next president, had gone live.

Clare encouraged faculty and staff to share the position profile across their networks, saying that the Board intends to cast as wide a net as possible as it considers candidates for the job. The profile was created through the input of NU staff and students, who attended a series of campus listening sessions last month.

"We heard loud and clear that the presidency of the University of Nebraska is an enormous opportunity and responsibility, a position that has a uniquely significant impact on the lives of students," said Clare, "I'm confident our leadership profile will held us find that person." Among the qualities the Board is looking for are authentic, proven leaders, the ability to build effective relationships with the Governor, Legislature, and donors, and a strong business acumen.
