It’s pure and simple: the University of Alaska (UA) is facing a fiscal crisis unlike any it has ever seen in its 100-plus year existence, and that means so is Kenai Peninsula College. Due to Gov. Mike Dunleavey’s 41% budget reduction of state funding amounting to a $135 million cut, our very existence is threatened. As University of Alaska President Jim Johnsen has said, this will be “devastating” if the veto is not overridden by the Alaska Legislature. This means 45 of 60 legislators need to vote to make this happen.
