University of Nebraska Board of Regents meeting on Dec. 5, 2025; testimony by Dept of Statistics

December 5, 2025, was a very sad day for all of Statistics. The University of Nebraska Board of Regents voted 7-1 (9-1 with 2 abstentions when including the student Regents) to eliminate its Department of Statistics. There was more than 5 hours of testimony by more than 100 faculty/students/public testifying against the eliminations of four different departments. Arguments of 1) Flawed data and statistical analyses to choose these four departments, 2) Proposed alternative savings and revenue options, and 3) Importance of the disciplines now and in the future did not convince the Regents. This video contains the testimony of faculty, students, and friends of the Departments of Statistics. We were overwhelmed by all of the support that we received from the statistical community. Thank you. SaveOurStats.com serves as a record of our struggle.
