On June 1, UAA will move to Phase B of its COVID-19 response plan. Here's what that means for faculty, staff and students this summer and fall.
Earlier this fiscal year, IT Services went live with a new ticketing system and has been working diligently to integrate it into and improve our billing system. The new system automates portions of the billing process resulting in more timely delivery of expenses to departments. For example, most parts and equipment expenses have already been billed directly to the provided fund/orgs when the purchase requests were originally made.
This budget reality brought on by reduction in state funding, declining enrollment and tuition, and the financial impacts of COVID-19 has been unsettling and difficult for all of us, and the board has tough choices to make. Your continued input and ideas for finding solutions to our challenges is vital.
The annual UAA Alumni Assembly will be postponed from its traditional summer date to fall 2020. The decision was voted on unanimously by the UAA Alumni Association at an emergency board meeting in response to ongoing event restrictions in place due to COVID-19.
