Legislative Resolution (LR) 261 sought to examine the fiscal and strategic impact of unfunded, statutorily mandated waivers on Nebraska’s public universities, state colleges, and community colleges. In response, NSWERS, alongside a collaborative working group, provided the Nebraska state legislature a comprehensive evaluation of the scope, distribution, and outcomes associated with these waivers.
