Since Nebraska has a University System and the president is of the whole system it's hard to really judge him. So I'll talk about our Chancellor.
Harvey Pearlman - Chancellor of the University of Nebraska - Lincoln. 7.5
With the gargantuan budget cuts that have rocked UNL (cut #4 to happen in june) ole' Harvey has really focused on not hurting Undergraduate education which was his number one priority. He has also made some really great hires of associate chancellors, particularly the chancellor for research. UNL has earned close to 50 million dollars in reaserch donations in just this school year.
Harvey gets dropped a little because it at times doesn't appear that he's fighting hard enough to prevent budget cuts. The cuts have gotten so bad that it is apparent that UNL might become the first institution of higher learning in the history of education and the world to fire tenured faculty. What type of quality professors would be able to get with that type of job security???
