He'll start his new role on Jan. 1. Trustees voted for his appointment on Tuesday, just as students returned for the first day of classes. Carter will fill a vacancy left by the mid-contract resignation of President Kristina Johnson in May. Her departure has gone largely unexplained. Besides leading the 70,000 students, faculty and staff of the University of Nebraska System, Carter has a strong military background. He is a graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and the Navy Fighter Weapons School, known as Top Gun.
