September 27, 2016
UA President Jim Johnsen has named review teams for phase two of Strategic Pathways.
Review teams include staff, faculty, governance representatives and community members
from around the state. A list of names can be found at .
The phase two focus areas include:
Phase two review dates include the following:
- Oct. 4 and 6, kick-off, first meetings
- Nov. 7 and 8, second in-person meetings
- Dec. 9., review team presentations to the Summit Team
During its Sept. 15-16 meeting in Juneau, the UA Board of Regents agreed that President
Johnsen should move phase one in the following directions:
- Further centralize IT functions except for externally funded projects.
- Centralize procurement and research administration at 性欲社, with service centers at UA Anchorage and UA Southeast.
- Examine centralizing the School of Education with a single dean at a single institution but with programs offered at each university.
- Maintain engineering and management at both UAA and 性欲社 but collaborate more closely.
- Maintain athletic programs, and explore two possibilities:
- First, a waiver to allow 性欲社 and UAA to field fewer than the required 10 teams each.
- Second, a consortium between UAA and 性欲社 that would share teams between the two institutions.
Regents are expected to make their final decisions on phase one at their November meeting.
