FY2020 budget information resources
Dear University Community,
In these challenging times for the University of Alaska, we are doing everything we can to provide updated information to you.
Here’s a link to a video update from President Johnsen on the declaration of financial exigency including information on community engagement
and next steps.
And here is a list of resources to help you understand and follow the process as decisions
and planning unfolds over the coming weeks.
FY2020 budget website: https://alaska.edu/pres/
Housed on President Johnsen’s page, this is the official location for systemwide updates related to the FY2020 budget including videos, communications and FAQs. You can alsosubmit questions for future FAQs. Additional resources include a response to the OMB white paper about the university, copies of official memos including those outlining restrictions on travel, hiring, and procurement, and a link to UA budget media coverage.
The site also offers information on the options for university structure being considered by the Board of Regents. Once a decision is made on structure and detailed planning begins, updates will be posted and there will be opportunities to provide feedback through this site.
HR Financial exigency page: https://alaska.edu/hr/
This is where we post and update the FAQ and information on financial exigency - in particular employee impacts – as well as submit questions for future FAQs. Human resources will provide more information on the impact of certain types of employment actions as we learn more about how the university will implement a plan under financial exigency.
