Mike Dunleavy wants to cut the Alaskan university system by $130m – a staggering 41% of its budget
We rarely devote much attention to what happens in the largest state of the US. No, not Texas – Alaska, which is bigger, geographically, than the next three states combined (Texas, California and Montana). Separated from the mainland by Canada, Alaska is the biggest state yet has fewer inhabitants than the smallest (Rhode Island). This creates enormous challenges for governance, including in higher education. And Alaska governor Mike Dunleavy’s new budget will make these challenges far, far worse.
In a shocking example of political overreach, Dunleavy announced 182 line-item vetoes to his state’s 2020 budget last week. He thereby cut the budget proposed by the Alaska legislature by almost $410m in general funds. Almost one-third of the cuts will come from the University of Alaska system, which will see its budget cut by $130m – a staggering 41%.

The right and conservative media are using the untraceable ads to push a rightwing agenda and get Donald Trump re-elected
In the weeks leading up to a tightly contested 2018 midterm election in Virginia, a Facebook page called “Wacky Wexton Not” ran an ad that pictured Democratic congressional candidate Jennifer Wexton next to Nazi troops. Another labeled her an “evil socialist”. Yet another referenced Nazi uniforms, stating, “Wexton and her modern day brown shirts. They Are Evil. They Hate America. They Hate You.”
You can still have a huge impact by spending very little.
Not so true – think about it. If 1 trillion palm oil trees were planted, new diseases would develop to deal with the imbalance. If current industrialized areas were simply allowed to return to nature that would enable 1 trillion trees to plant themselves, it would help. Man deciding to plant trees liked by humans will more than likely make things worse. Forests depend on natural diversity, not man-made interventions. Planting a massive number of trees is the most effective way to combat global warming, scientists have said. Reforesting an area the size of the United States could capture two-thirds of manmade carbon emissions.
