UAS under the budget knife - Katie Moritz, Juneau Empire

Twenty-four of 35 University of Alaska Southeast year-to-year faculty members have been given notice that their contracts might not be renewed next year in light of anticipated cuts to the school’s budget. Those 24 faculty represent almost one-fifth of the university’s 114 full-time faculty. UAS Provost Rick Caulfield said the university is expecting a $2.3 million budget reduction next fiscal year, although that amount won’t be finalized for several months. http://juneauempire.com/local/2015-02-23/uas-under-budget-knife
