Chancellor Rogers attended the February 20th UAF Staff Council meeting. It was important to him to address the council in person to provide information on a variety of topics.
* The core operating budget approved by Governor Palin will cover pay raises, operating expenses, cooperative extension, maintenance and energy programs.
* The stimulus package has 8 million dollars for education and higher education, so UAF is hoping to see some of these funds.
* There is a slim to none chance the Life Science Building will happen at this time.
* There is money coming from the Federal Agency of Natural Sciences for the Arctic Research Vessel which is operated by UAF.
* The Alaska Volcano Observatory will also receive funds in their work.
* The Pell Grant will be increased by $500 over the next 2 years.
* There is 7 - 8 billion dollars of the stimulus package to increase rural broadband connectivity nationwide.
* Toolik Lake will have a benefit of 5 million dollars from the stimulus package in their work.
* Chancellor Rogers is interested in staff feedback on the supervisory training that has been occuring.
