UA Board of Regents to meet Dec. 11-12 in Anchorage
December 10, 2014
The University of Alaska Board of Regents will meet in the Lee Gorsuch Commons on
the University of Alaska Anchorage campus Dec. 11-12, 2014, for the final business meeting
of the calendar year. Members of the public will have the opportunity to testify before
the regents at approximately 8:45 a.m. Thursday, Dec. 11, and 10 a.m. Friday, Dec.
12.
Regents will address two new policies that affect the university community — an employee
furlough policy and a systemwide smoke-free, tobacco-free policy. In addition, they
will approve resolutions of appreciation for retiring Vice President for Academic
Affairs and Research Dana Thomas and outgoing regents Timothy Brady, Fuller A. Cowell,
Patricia Jacobson and Kirk Wickersham.
The agenda comprises regular university business, including governance reports, updates
on state and federal relations, audit reports, construction reports and project change
requests, and an update on theme 2 of the Shaping Alaska's Future initiative — forming productive
partnerships with Alaska's schools. New board officers also will be elected.
UAA will present information on its Business Enterprise Institute during lunch on
Dec. 11 and will host an evening reception at the new Alaska Airlines Center.
