There’s been much discussion and debate about the appropriate amount of state support for the University of Alaska. As a “finance expert” with specific knowledge of UA (as a graduate, as adjunct professor at more than six campuses, as a former UA vice president of finance from 2000-2006), I support reasonable state services and budget support for them, but not by draconian and dysfunctional cuts while paying out what I consider extraordinary PFD payments.
