The State Legislature provided funding to partially meet fixed costs. This allowed us to redirect internal savings from mortgaging faculty and staff, to invest over $1.5 million inexciting and highly relevant programs that are making a difference for this state. We invested in teacher education,health care, and vocational education. We also invested to help realize Alaska's economic development opportunities through programs in logistics, data retrieval and analysis, and natural resources management and development. Additionally, the new UA Scholars Program has attracted 270 of the states top high school graduates. When these bright young students graduate they are four times more likely to stay in Alaska than their peers who attend colleges and universities outside. That means we retain educated people who will contribute to the future of Alaska. Alaska is at a crucial turning point from reliance on its natural resources to its human resources. The key to making this transition from a colony to a self-sustaining economy is investment in higher education. This investment is not just one among many options for moving our state forward. It is not even one of the bestoptions. It is the only option. This has been true throughout history and across this nation. It is true today and here in Alaska. It is a pleasure to present the 2000 UA in Review, which provides a comprehensive, consistent, and useful statistical picture of the university.I hope you will find this year's publication helpful to your understanding of the university and its contributions to Alaska, enabling you to voice your support of our goal to becoming the engine of economic development and diversification for the state of Alaska. If you have any questions about the information in this year's UA in Review, or need more precise formulation of any of the data, please do not hesitate to contact Pat Pitney, Director, Statewide Budgetand Institutional Research.
