Beth Sullivan, Esther; Pagano, Rosanne V.
New Directions for Higher Education, n159 p21-29 Aut 2012

Drastic changes in funding sources and student needs have compelled the university to take new approaches. As the learning landscape continues to shift for adults, online learners, and Alaska Native communities, the university continues to adapt its organizational structures to best address the shifting environment.
