Nebraska lawmakers split in their reactions to the U.S. Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade, while the prospects of a special legislative session to change Nebraska's abortion laws remained uncertain.

Don Bacon said the court’s decision means a successful day for those fighting for decades to overturn Roe v. Wade.

Bacon said he believes life starts prior to 15 weeks of conception but encourages anti-abortion state senators to work with those they may not agree with.

Tony Vargas is state senator for the 7th District of Nebraska, which is in the Omaha area. The Democrat U.S. congressional candidate for Bacon’s current seat says he stands by women’s reproductive rights.

Vargas says there’s a group of senators that will stand up against abortion bans in the state legislature.

UNK’s undergraduate census from last fall indicates 13% of its full-time students identifying as Latino or Hispanic. The school enrolls 226 more Hispanic students now than ten years ago.

Kelly Bartling, Vice Chancellor for Enrollment, said the school could get HSI recognition in 20-30 years, with more concerted efforts.
