Officially it is still the University of Nebraska, or at least that's
what is on my MBA diploma.  There are four independent campus units:
Lincoln, Omaha, Kearney and the Medical Center, each of which has its
own Chancellor.  The central administration offices and the President 
of the University are both in Lincoln.

However, I doubt you'd be interested in a long discussion on the 125 year 
old rivalry between Lincoln and Omaha and how the University of Omaha 
and Kearney State College were added to the University of Nebraska system.  
(Even the Husker List doesn't talk about that topic much.)

> Even their website is _www.unl.edu_ (http://www.unl.edu/) 

They also own the nebraska.edu domain as a gateway to the four campuses.
