From the University of Nebraska, NSU President Neal Schnoor who arrived in 2021 is already looking for greener pastures:
The University of Nebraska System has named Dr. Neal H. Schnoor – president of Northern State University in Aberdeen, South Dakota – as the priority candidate for chancellor of the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
A Nebraska native – born in Norfolk and raised in Pierce – first-generation college student and former long-time UNK faculty member and administrator, Schnoor brings more than 30 years of experience in higher education leadership, instruction and strategic planning.
and..
Dr. Schnoor has served as President of Northern State University since 2021, where he led the development of a five-year strategic plan, implemented academic restructuring to drive innovation and growth, and secured major legislative funding for academic facilities and program expansion—including a new Business and Health Innovation Center and a collaborative nursing program. Under his leadership, NSU also increased private fundraising, launched new academic and co-curricular initiatives, and strengthened student support services and community partnerships.
Sounds like UNK went after him, can’t blame them.
President Schoor has been one of the best things recently to come to Aberdeen/NSU. This will be a tough loss but I look forward to seeing the great things he will do.
I agree!
After the Goonsquad takeover of the SD legislature and the jokes that flew around as proposed legislation, all while you’re trying to operate a regental university on a less than nickel-dime budget — I don’t blame him for hightailing it out of SoDak for greener (and saner) pastures.
Can’t deny, You would run too if Carl Perry and Al Novstrup invited themselves as your personal, freeloading guests, to every NSU sporting event.
Wish him all the best!
