During his annual State of the University address, UNO Chancellor John Christensen said there’s also been an increase in minority and international student enrollment at UNO.
“We realized record minority enrollment, which now stands at more than 14%,†Christensen said. “Couple that with international students now representing 119 countries, this brings the campus diversity to approximately 19%.â€

But, he also acknowledged the need for the University to cut costs. He didn’t provide specifics, but said UNO’s academic and business offices are working together to find ways the system can increase efficiencies, enhance revenue and cut spending.
