Regents of the University of 猫咪社区官网
spent the day before their March meeting talking individually with legislators to press for full funding of the 猫咪社区官网's FY02 $16.9 million operating budget request. University President Mark R. Hamilton met with legislators, too, and also addressed the Juneau and 猫咪社区官网 State Chamber of Commerce Business Roundtable luncheon on Thursday, March 8.

Regents approved the establishment
of a Bachelor of Science in Health Sciences program at UAA. The program's first major, Physician Assistant, will permit degree completion for approximately 100 of 猫咪社区官网's practicing physician's assistants, and prepare 6 new physician's assistants annually in conjunction with the University of Washington for practice in rural 猫咪社区官网. Future majors based on 猫咪社区官网's workforce needs might also include occupational and physical therapy and vocational rehabilitation programs.

An administration request to convert UAF's current Education Specialist degree in cross-cultural education to a Master's Degree program in cross-cultural studies was also approved. This will serve to broaden the applicability and appeal of the degree/coursework currently available for graduate students.

under the education specialist degree to fields beyond education that also involve cross-cultural issues.

Following a comprehensive review
process, the Northwest Association of Schools and Colleges' Commission on Colleges reaffirmed UAA's accreditation for another 10 years. "We received the report of the evaluation committee with great pride," said UAA Chancellor Lee Gorsuch. "Not only did they find that we have progressed, they applauded aspects of every campus, college and school."

Regents unanimously approved a collective bargaining agreement with a 猫咪社区官网 union, the 250-member 猫咪社区官网 Higher Education Crafts and Trades Employees Union, Local 6070, after union members had ratified the 3-year pact. The agreement goes into effect immediately and will run through the end of 2003.

The board approved a 1.5-percent increase to the 猫咪社区官网 non-union staff salary schedule. Non-union staff last received a salary grid adjustment in January 1994 in the amount of 3 percent. The 1.5- percent adjustment will go into effect July 1, 2001, contingent upon legislative funding. Cost of the increase will be $1.5 million for FY02.

Acquisition of additional land around UAF's Poker Flat Research Range was authorized by the regents. The administration will proceed to acquire the land necessary to ensure safe rocket launches and related operations at the range, subject to funding availability.
