Despite the fact that the academic council recommended against it, despite the fact that the program brought in more tuition than it cost, and despite the fact that Nebraskans need & deserve this expertise, Earth & Atmospheric Sciences will be cut.

A terribly sad day. After hours of testimony to the contrary, the Regents could not find the will to support Nebraska. Our Earth and Atmospheric Science, Stats, Textiles, and Education Admin programs are gone. Along with the faculty and their creativity, knowledge, and passion. Sorry, students.

They are really planning to go through with these cuts at Nebraska, despite recommendations not to. Unbelievable.
If you want to hire highly qualified, very successful earth and atmospheric sciences faculty in teaching and research, quite a few are probably looking for jobs for next year.

Lots of folks out to support UNL Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. The department is slated to be cut - a decision that would mean Nebraska would loose its only meteorology degree program (let alone the faculty and students). 🤦♀️ eas.unl.edu

Research by my former PhD student, Daniel Gschwentner, on how grassland wildfires impact lakes is now live in Ecosystems: doi.org/10.1007/s100...
Wildfires are contributing to P loading in lakes, but lakes are N-limited so that P is likely not being processed by algae.

Congratulations to my first PhD graduate, Dr. Gschwentner!
This morning @unl-snr.bsky.social I enjoyed listening to Daniel Gschwentner's stellar dissertation defense on his work to understand how the limnology of Nebraska's Sandhill Lakes is changing over time in response to climate change and wildfire ash nutrient pulses. Kudos! @limnojess.bsky.social

I spoke with a university administrator last week who said “NSF is fine. Don’t worry.” No, NSF is not ok. Are other universities responding better? What is your dept or uni doing to support its faculty, staff, and students?
infuriated and heartbroken at all the important work reviewed, approved and funded by NSF being terminated this week - all the work visioned, proposed, managed and conducted by teams of scholars, faculty, staff, students and community members

It is simply not enough for universities to say, “Our grants & research offices are looking into how research will be affected by the latest directive.”
University leaders must actively and very publicly make the case for the kind of work many of us do. The silence on this front is deafening.
