KEARNEY - University of Nebraska at Kearney Chancellor Neal Schnoor forwarded a plan to eliminate four degree programs to the Board of Regents for its consideration in February.

On Monday, Schnoor said the program will undergo a realignment and shift to online delivery in order to continue meeting strong workforce demand instead of being cut.
