It is in tuition revenue that we lag considerably behind comparable universities. In addition, following the 1997 implementation of our new admissions standards, the university experienced enrollment declines. That situation is gradually reversing now, but we still suffer from lost tuition revenues because of lower numbers of students. The leadership of the university is engaged in a serious dialogue both with citizens and Nebraska's political leaders on this important issue. Together, I'm confident we can develop a workable plan to substantially improve our already very good university.
