University of Alaska looks to a post-pandemic future - Peter Segall, Juneau Empire

 Enrollment is down across the university system, but chancellors of the three universities each said that students are enrolling and there are signs of growth. UA Southeast Chancellor Karen Carey told regents enrollment at the school was down 5% from this time last year, but she is confident enrollment will pick up again as pandemic-related restrictions wind down. “I know we’re down but we’re actually feeling pretty good about it considering these covid times,” Carey said. Enrollment is down most at the Juneau campus, she said, largely in arts and sciences. Most of those classes were done in-person, and Carey said she believes once the school can offer in-person classes again, enrollment will pick up.
