University of Alaska officials have released a summary of proposed budget cuts and efficiency measures in response to a request from Governor Bill Walker in anticipation of reduced state funding. Vice President of University Relations Carla Beam says the university was asked to present plans for addressing 5 and 8 percent state reductions, additional to an already proposed 6 million dollar cut. “Those come out to 24.1 million dollars under 5 percent reduction scenario, and 35 million dollars under an 8 percent scenario.”
