The Nebraska Legislature has adopted articles of impeachment against Elizabeth O'Connor, a member of the Board of Regents of the University of Nebraska, following her involvement in a serious DUI incident on May 21, 2025. O'Connor was charged with driving under the influence, resulting in serious bodily injury, after a two-vehicle crash in Omaha where her blood alcohol concentration was found to be 0.321, significantly exceeding the legal limit. The incident caused injuries to multiple individuals, including a passenger who sustained severe injuries requiring extensive recovery.
The resolution asserts that O'Connor's actions constitute an impeachable offense as they undermine fundamental principles of government and are detrimental to public interest. The Legislature, holding the sole power of impeachment, has resolved to impeach O'Connor and demands that she respond to the charges against her. The proceedings will follow legal protocols to ensure justice is served in light of her misconduct.
