Nebraska U. Bars All 'Subversives'

Disturbed by the "current confusion across the nation," the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska in June, 1949, resolved to keep the university "free from un-American influences."

The Regents declared that they would exclude from the faculty anyone "who has associated with or is a member of groups that seek to overthrow our form of representative government," and that it would ban "subversive" textbooks.

So far, the university has not found it necessary to discard any teachers or any textbooks under the Regents' policy, and no loyalty oath has been imposed on the Nebraska faculty.
