The University of Nebraska Board of Regents met on Feb. 9 to vote on the discontinuation of three bachelor’s degree programs at UNK. The eight regents unanimously voted to eliminate geography, theater and recreation management. This decision was forced by UNK’s $4.3 million budget deficit, leading to the elimination of 24.5 faculty lines and nine degree programs. Temo Molina, UNK student body president, was in attendance serving as UNK’s student regent and opposed the elimination of theater.
