Governor approves state budget while vetoing funds for school districts and the university - Tim Bradner, Anchorage Press

Other education cuts included $17.5 million for building system upgrades at the University of Alaska Anchorage along with major maintenance projects like roof replacements and safety code upgrades at the university’s Fairbanks, Juneau and rural campuses. University of Alaska System capital projects will experience reductions of approximately $36.7 million but other  initiatives such as roof repairs at the Fairbanks campus, the drone program in Fairbanks and library funds for UAA were retained in the budget.
