The Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska voted June 29 to approve a second amended and restated set of bylaws and amended and restated articles of incorporation for Nebraska Medicine, both set to take effect July 1, 2026, and remain in place through Sept. 30, 2026.
President Gold presented the changes and told the board the documents were drafted in response to a resolution the board passed at its June 18 meeting. He said the bylaws and articles ‘‘reinforce the commitment of the board to allow benefits of membership including appointment of a full half of the members of the Nebraska Medicine Board by the Omaha Community Foundation’’ during the three‑month term, and that approval was contingent on the successful withdrawal of Clarkson Regional Health Services, anticipated on June 30.
Regents moved and seconded the motions to approve each document. The board held roll-call votes on both items; each motion passed unanimously. The bylaws were described as effective July 1–Sept. 30, 2026, and the articles were to be filed with the state of Nebraska to the same effect, contingent on Clarkson’s withdrawal.
The board noted the documents will remain in place while university leadership and the Omaha Community Foundation negotiate a possible long-term governance arrangement for Nebraska Medicine. No amendments were offered during the public meeting, and no public commenters spoke in opposition or support during the allotted public-comment period.
The board took the votes as part of its administrative agenda; the meeting then moved on to other business.
