The University of Alaska System's board of regents unanimously voted last week to consider options other than merging its three flagships into one university with single accreditation, the Anchorage Daily News reported. The board's decision came in the wake of strong opposition to the proposed merger from students and staff. The regents also voted to go forward with reviews of programs and units across the system. U of Alaska's future has been in question since late June, when the state's governor moved to cut an unprecedented $130 million from the system's budget, though the reduction has since been pared back.
