SUBJ:         Aligning Programs from the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓÆµ of Liberal Arts and the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓÆµ of Rural and Community Development

Pursuant to our conversation last week, please prepare a feasibility study, to include recommendations, on a move of the Cross-Cultural Studies program, the Alaska Native Languages program and the Alaska Native Language Center from the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓÆµ of Liberal Arts to the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓÆµ of Rural and Community Development.  Please complete this study and return to me by March 31, 2019.

The rationale for such a move is to increase synergy between Alaska Native programs at UAF.  I look forward to reviewing your recommendations.
