University of Alaska bosses ask for more money from Alaska Legislature - James Brooks, Juneau Empire

The University of Alaska Board of Regents is again asking for more money. In its November meeting, which concluded Friday in Fairbanks, the group approved a FY2020 budget request of $358.5 million from the state of Alaska. While that’s $20 million less than the university system received six years ago, it’s $31.5 million more than the Alaska Legislature approved for the system’s FY2019 budget. In addition to that operating increase, the regents requested $50 million in the state’s capital construction and renovation budget. https://www.juneauempire.com/news/university-of-alaska-bosses-ask-for-more-money-from-alaska-legislature/
