Lincoln, Neb. — The University of Nebraska Board of Regents Wednesday selected Dr. Jeffery Gold as the priority candidate to become system President. They announced their decision after emerging from a nearly 90-minute executive session.
Gold is currently chancellor of the University of Nebraska Medical Center and served for a time as head of the University of Nebraska-Omaha
Next up will be a 30-day vetting period required under state law, which will see Gold meet with students, faculty, staff and other NU stakeholders across the state.
The end of the vetting period would fall on April 19, when regents are scheduled to convene for a regularly scheduled meeting at Varner Hall in Lincoln.
The board could make their final decision at that time and set a date for Gold to begin the position.
