UAF Budget-At-A-Glance 2017

UA submitted its FY17 budget to the Board of Regents (BOR) in November 2015.  The UA request went to Governor Walker's office in December 2015 for consideration and his budget was released shortly after.  The Governor's initial budget served as a starting point for the legislative session that ran from January 19 through April 17, 2016.  After much negotiating, the Legislature eventually passed a UA budget of $335 million.  The Governor then vetoed $10 million of it to encourage the Legislature to act on creating a revenue stream.  In the end, UA received $325 million for FY17.

UAF is managing to a budget level equivalent to $35 million in reductions.  Some strategic investment funds, available through the UA System, have provided some relief in targeted areas but does not alleviate UAF’s rising fixed cost obligations.

The following budget tracking sheet identifies the UAF-specific portions of the overall UA System budget request.
