"In the final, 32-page report. the Regents' Com­mission defined the general role of a university as well as the particular role of an urban univer­sity. In arriving at their conclusions as to their definitions and educational premises, the Com­mission studied the economy of the Omaha region, student life styles, environmental human and so­cial deficiencies. serious immediate problems affecting UNO faculty, students and administration and the significance of Omaha's size."
