University of Nebraska Board of Regents tie on vote to return to Bush-era regulations on embryonic stem cell research; resolution fails

Inside Higher Ed and The Chronicle of Higher Education [subscription required] each have detailed reports on the tie vote in the University of Nebraska Board of Regents that defeated an attempt to reject the expansion of research on human embryonic stem cells allowed by the Obama administration. If passed, the resolution would have returned the system to the more restrictive regulations issued by the Bush administration.
