UAF has received modest state funding increases over the last several years covering a portion of salaries, lease payments and utilities. Yet, state funding is only part of UAF’s total budget.  UAF’s earned revenue, in the form of research grants and contracts, tuition, auxiliary enterprises, and private fund raising covers the majority of UAF’s budget.  In recent years, this earned revenue has not kept pace with cost increases in areas critical to campus operations and strategic priorities, making it necessary to look internally at existing resources to reallocate.
