University of Alaska Southeast tightens belt, gets creative after about a half-million dollar budget cut - Quinton Chandler, KTOO

The University of Alaska’s Board of Regents unanimously agreed on a budget today, a week after the Legislature decided to cut university funding by about $8 million. That cut comes with a $3 million increase in the university’s costs. To absorb its share, the University of Alaska Southeast is selling property and sweet-talking potential donors. Rick Caulfield, chancellor of the University of Alaska Southeast, said the University of Alaska’s funding isn’t settled yet. http://www.ktoo.org/2017/06/28/university-alaska-southeast-tightens-belt-gets-creative-half-million-dollar-budget-cut/
