The Faculty Alliance includes three faculty members from each of the three academic MAUs.  
It works closely with the Systemwide Academic Council (chief academic officers of the 
three universities plus a representative of the President) to formulate academic policy 
and define faculty working conditions for the university as a whole.  The chair for the 
Faculty Alliance addresses the Board of Regents at each of their meetings.  The Faculty 
Alliance, through Pat Ivey in the Systemwide Governance Office, works closely with the 
Staff Alliance and the Student Network.


The responsibilities of the Faculty Alliance may include, but are not limited to, 
coordination on matters relating to academic affairs such as academic program review; 
the addition, deletion or merging of academic programs; curriculum; subject matter 
and methods of instruction; those aspects of student life relating to the educational 
process such as degree requirements, grading policy, course coordination and transfer, 
student probation and suspension, standards of admission and scholastic standards; 
and faculty welfare issues, including, but not limited to compensation, appointments, 
reappointments and termination, workload, promotions, the granting of tenure, dismissal, 
ethics, and other matters affecting the faculty, the general welfare of the university 
and its educational purposes and effectiveness.  The internet home page for the Faculty 
Alliance is located at http://gov.alaska.edu/Faculty/.

The University of Alaska Fairbanks representatives are:
	Abel Bult-Ito, Past-President, UAF Faculty Senate
	Paul Layer, President, UAF Faculty Senate
