Proposed CORE Statement
To position the university for future success, Chancellor Li introduced a new proposed statement known as the UNO Core. It reads:
"UNO is an urban public research university educating people of the world. We innovate for the public good through pragmatic and impactful research and discovery. We advance the social and economic mobility of our learners and serve our communities through inclusion rather than exclusion. We assume responsibility for workforce and economic development within our state and beyond. We devote each day to transforming lives."
