What this tracks
This dataset records the boundaries and population statistics for Nebraska’s University Board of Regents districts following the 2021 redistricting.
Why it matters to you
If you’re a Nebraska resident, student, or work with the University system, this data tells you which regents represent your area—important when advocating for campus policies or funding decisions. Parents comparing university resources across regions can see if their district serves a larger or smaller population. Small businesses near campuses can identify which regent to contact about partnership opportunities.
