LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) - As University of Nebraska-Lincoln Chancellor Harvey Perlman nears retirement, he's focusing on what he's helped the school accomplish during his tenure.
Perlman delivered his final state of the university address Wednesday. Instead of outlining a new agenda for the university, he reflected on some of the school's achievements over the past year, including growing enrollment and student diversity on campus.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that Perlman attributed the university's ability to attract a record 25,260 students this semester to recent efforts aiming to increase diversity.
He said the percentage of minority students has increased from 11 to 16 percent over the past five years.
Perlman will retire June 30 after 15 years at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
