Over two dozen of Nebraska’s top leaders, led by Gov. Pete Ricketts, are calling on the University of Nebraska (UN) to prevent Critical Race Theory (CRT) from being imposed on its campuses.
The call comes in a letter (pdf) sent Tuesday to the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, which will be voting on a resolution that aims to ban the “imposition of Critical Race Theory” later this week. The resolution has been met with opposition from the UN leadership, including UN President Ted Carter and Chancellor Ronnie Green, who have called the resolution a violation of academic freedom.
