One of my #universityofnebraska #lincolnne undergraduates speaking up to save our #statistics department. Department website: http://saveourstats.com/
Public comment form: https://apc.unl.edu/fall-2025-budget-reduction-feedback-form/.
Variable assessment: https://srvanderplas.github.io/2025-stat-apc-report/metrics-analysis (it features a possibly Cauchy distributed variable that they then made into a Z-score).

It's insane to eliminate #stats in the age of #datascience, #bigdata, and #ai

As $27.5 million in cuts loom over UNL, students hope to save programs

Students in programs up for elimination shared their concerns with how the loss of their programs would hurt the state. The potential cuts are in response to the state legislature allocating less funding than the university needed in its budget for the next two years.
