Normally I don't write day-to-day university funding coverage, but this post is the exception that proves the rule. Bryan Alexander writes, "The University of Alaska system just learned it will experience a 41% budget cut... This isn't belt-tightening or even austerity. It's a strategic redirection, a historic transformation. " Alexander writes that "the case is anomalous" but it's not anomalous. There is a determined political lobby seeking to defund public education. It is going to be successful to a certain degree. It's not clear whether public universities have a response, or have even been planning for one.
