Provide for the collection of postsecondary institution compensation data

Nebraska Legislative Bill LB 956 requires public colleges and universities to collect and report annual compensation data for administrators, full-time instructional faculty, and adjunct faculty. The bill mandates that institutions submit standardized salary and benefits information - including average pay by role, benefits breakdowns, and year-over-year changes - to the Coordinating Commission for Postsecondary Education starting July 1, 2026. The Commission must compile this data, make it publicly available on its website in searchable formats by December 31 each year, and publish an annual report without revealing individual employee names. This bill directly affects Nebraska’s public postsecondary institutions and aims to improve transparency in higher education compensation practices.
