Sine, thanks for doing a good honest job advocating for your point of view. I appreciate that. I think UA could use fundamental restructuring, that (imho) statewide administration/ regents are incapable of. Strategic Pathways isn't the answer. UA does a good a full court press lobbying the legislature, (making sure they come before K-12), and the only option the legislature has is budget, not governance-- that's the constitution. The time is ripe for an outside (not inside) evaluation of UA. Although UAAnchorage should be supported by the State of Alaska, we need to cut off the UA statewide "middleman."  UAA should be totally independent, and that may not require constitutional revision. Why is Alaska the only U.S. State that lacks an Architecture degree program? Answer-- turf wars and other duplicate programs-- do we need two MFA art programs? Heck no-- we don't need any, BFA is enough, but we have two MFAs, and we don't have a school of Architecture anywhere. That's not strategic.
