Jerome Wohleb completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Wohleb's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- My top priority would be to address the current labor crisis. Multiple studies indicate that Nebraska will have a critical shortage of several professions in the next 5 years. The ongoing lack of applicants to our universities is concerning. We need to turn this around for our economy, for our health and also for our future.
- The University is expected to provide a unique offering to post-secondary students to expand Nebraska’s educational offerings to advanced learning. The universities’ role should drive growth, innovation, advancement and knowledge for business and professional needs. Creating better academics, improved athletics and research is needed to recruit top talent to Nebraska.
- Education is expensive for both our students and our taxes. We need to address both and I am confident there are many solutions. Appropriately managing costs is a challenge I have successfully faced in most of my leadership roles over my career. Thoughtful review of expenditures is necessary to avoid indiscriminate cuts in services and programs. Collaboration within departments could create efficiencies. Innovation can cut utility costs, while being eco-friendly. Innovation in class management could help students be more successful by offering in person, online or internships while allowing research revenues by faculty to help manage expense.
