III. Discussion of President Komisar's Questions from the Planning Retreats Reference 1-2

On April 17, 1997, the Planning and Development Committee met to discuss possible topics for this meeting. A summary of that meeting is attached as Reference 1.

As a follow-up to that meeting and the retreats held by the Board of Regents over the past six months, the committee will discuss the three questions posed by President Komisar:

    1. What are the strengths of the University of Alaska?

    2. Where are the areas we are not serving?

    3. How do we liberate resources within the University and find outside sources of funding?

Reference 2 contains the summarization of the past three retreats as presented by Vice President Creamer at the April 16, 1997 retreat. Committee members are asked to bring the three retreat booklets to assist in this discussion.
