Biography

The Municipal University of Omaha Board of Regents oversaw the administration of the University of Omaha. The University of Omaha was founded as a private, coeducational college in 1908 by the Presbyterian Theological Seminary at Omaha. In 1930, with voter approval, the City of Omaha took control of the university, changing it to the Municipal University of Omaha. In 1968, the Municipal University of Omaha merged with the University of Nebraska system and became the University of Nebraska at Omaha, after which it was governed by the University of Nebraska Board of Regents, and the Municipal University of Omaha Board of Regents ceased to exist.
