All University employees (including regular, term, temporary, student and full and
part-time faculty and staff) are responsible for complying with the Alaska Executive
Branch Ethics Act (Alaska Statute 39.52). The Act sets standards for how we do our
University jobs, and to a lesser extent, may limit our non-University activities.
A group of University of Alaska Fairbanks faculty, students and staff has been conducting

To the woman wearing earbuds and sitting next to me in seat 7E: I'm sorry; I did not
get to shower before boarding the plane after 12 days of accompanying four scientists
in the hills north of Lituya Bay. I will try to keep my arms pinned to my side and
lean toward the window. That’s probably not good enough, but it’s only an hour-and-a-half from Juneau to Anchorage.
There, you will be free from the scent of the wild.

As we move through Pride Month, it is important to explore the history and struggles
and honor the strength of the queer community. On June 28, 1969, the New York Police Department raided the Stonewall Inn, a New York
City gay bar. The patrons of Stonewall Inn, led by Black trans and lesbian women,
fought back, catalyzing the modern LGBTQ+ rights movement. The next year, marches
in New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago commemorated the Stonewall Uprising and are considered the first pride marches in U.S. history.
A recent Northrim Bank gift to programs across the University of Alaska system included

research on Alaska’s economy and fiscal policy, expand business education, and build
entrepreneurship capacity.
