None of the faculty members is whining. Running a university is the job for professional educators and researchers, but not for bloody amateurs. 

There are numerous absurd decisions. Here is an example: After five years as superintendent of the Kenai Peninsula Borough School District, where he was named Alaska’s 2013 Superintendent of the Year,  Dr. Steve Atwater,  was hired by UA Statewide in 2014  to lead the K-12 Outreach team as associate vice president. Eventually, he was named Interim Dean of UAF's School of Education. And now, the Board of Regents is processing to locate its single statewide College of Education at the University of Alaska Southeast. Since the National Council on Teacher Quality has ranked the elementary education program at UAF among the best in the United States, such a decision is absurd. This decision is only politically motivated, the best way to destroy the reputation of UAF won in a long-term period of numerous decades.
