University of Nebraska considers extending president's contract
Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 8 Oct, 22:48 · Archive
The University of Nebraska Board of Regents is considering extending NU president Dr. Jeff Gold's contract from 2029 to 2032 and altering its terms. The new contract would remove the additional salary increases from performance-based merit pay that were in his previous agreement, though he would remain eligible for standard merit-based salary increases. Performance evaluations will be conducted in a way agreeable to both Dr. Gold and the board.
In August 2025, the Board of Regents approved a $159,386 performance-based bonus for Dr. Gold. He announced he would decline the bonus and donate it, citing the university's systemwide budget deficit of $20 million.
The contract adjustments would also change the terms of Dr. Gold's buyout arrangements in the case of resignation. Both Dr. Gold and the Board of Regents must accept and approve the new contract before it can be implemented.
