Scholle repeated that coordination for this activity rests with Brenda Wilcox and Pat Ivey. She encouraged people to call and discuss other ideas, saying that this activity is just one of many ideas of how we can build support in our communities for the university. An electronic copy of the voter registration database has been obtained and this database will be comparing that with the university's databases of faculty, staff, students and alumni, and will sort them by district. This information will be shared with governance, university administration, regents and will be made public on the internet. The university faculty and staff and student piece has been completed.
Alumni have yet to be added.
The UAF Alumni Association has just sent over its database and Ivey has a call in to Suzette Mashburn in the UAA alumni office to request the UAA alumni database. She asked Tullis to assist in getting a copy from the UAA alumni office. Bowen will be sending a copy of the UAS alumni database as soon as she adds the 1997 graduates. Ivey said she is preliminarily finding that, in looking at the numbers and percentages of faculty, staff and students, what she already suspected and that is that the university is in every district in the state and run between five and 22 percent of the total number of registered voters in each district. That doesn't count the spouses, the moms and dads of the students, faculty and staff and all their friends.
