LINCOLN- Barring any last-minute changes, the University of Nebraska will soon need to begin the search for a new president. Ted Carter, the former superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy, was named Tuesday as the next president of Ohio State University in Columbus. Ohio State University made the decision at its most recent Board of Trustees meeting, but declined to confirm any details about the selection.

Members of the NU Board of Regents also declined to comment on the move. Carter had just recently received a positive evaluation by the NU System for his work during the 2022-23 academic year, and also received notice that he would be awarded a $144,000 bonus. The Regents who made that decision cited Carter's work on a private fundraising campaign, which raised over $3 billion.

Over his tenure, Carter has made great progress in persuading both liberal and conservative lawmakers to invest in and trust Nebraska's largest public university system. Carter was also pivotal in launching the Nebraska Promise Program, which helps low- and middle-income Nebraskans attend NU tuition-free.
