UAF News

The House Finance University Budget Subcommittee, chaired by Rep. David Guttenberg of Fairbanks, is soliciting public input pertaining to the university budget.

The public comment period opened Feb. 14 and will wrap up at  5 p.m.  next  Tuesday, Feb. 21 . I encourage you to share your thoughts on the university and the university's budget, or on programs or activities that are important priorities to you. We have information pertaining to the budget and other resources available at www.alaska.edu/state/ sessionandbudget/.

When communicating with the legislature, please do not use university email or other university resources, and please do so on your own time, such as during lunch or after work.

Your feedback will be utilized as the subcommittee develops budget recommendations to send to the full Finance Committee. They will be using the Legislative Information Office’s Public Opinion Message System to facilitate this process. If you wish to send an online POM, go to: www.legis.state.ak.us/poms/.

You may also mail, fax or hand deliver your signed message to your local Legislative Information Office. A listing of Alaska LIO locations can be found here: http://akleg.gov/lios.php.

Thank you for your support of the University of Alaska,
Miles Baker
University of Alaska associate vice president of government relations
