The Future of the University of Alaska Southeast
subject: Alaska, Article/News, Work/Finances/Unemployment
description: A June 2 article from the Juneau Empire entitles “Regents considering several options for university system restructuring.” This article describes the financial straits of the University of Alaska system, greatly exacerbated by Covid-19 and its economic impacts, which have led to discussions of potentially shutting down one of UA’s three branches, the University of Alaska Southeast in Juneau. This might involve merging UAS into one of the other UA schools, either Fairbanks or Anchorage, or it might entail cutting over 50 degree programs to bring down costs.
