Definitely true.

Hey Ben,
The museum is its own separately funded unit, so while this hurts, and directly affects our curators and interns from EAS, UNSM including Ashfall and Trailside remains open and active.

That said, we are gutted. EAS have been allies and partners with the museum for a hundred years. No more.

Look at her: A kid from Nebraska who wants to know how the world around her works, but wants to stay close to her family and community while doing so.

She could do it when UNL thought Nebraskans deserved to. She DID do it!

The next generation, though? They can't anymore.

I expect most geo-aspiring students will look to Kansas. But CO, SD, and IA may benefit some.

But one problem with geo/atmo is that it's not a field many people come in to college knowing about. They join after being exposed *in* college. So now more NE kids are robbed of that.

That's awful, Colin. I'm so chagrined we've come to this pass. Sorry you had to make these calls.

So depressed by this. More or less just got here and already I'm watching co-workers get fired for no discernable reason, bright undergrads left homeless.
It's a shame, in the old sense, as in, they should be ashamed.

Look: you gotta make sure, okay?

Trust, but verify.
