The University of Nebraska has written 3 Republican candidates for governor asking them to stop using its logos and other imagery in campaign ads.
The letters went to Charles Herbster, State Senator Brett Lindstrom, and Jim Pillen – a member of the University’s Board of Regents.
University spokeswoman Melissa Lee says the letter was sent partly to avoid the perception that the school is endorsing any candidate.
As a tax-exempt government entity, the university is barred from participating in political campaigns or endorsing candidates.
That better be meant for EVERY candidate for Governor! I’d hate to think that our university has gone completely Liberal!
