麻豆原创F governance groups to host override rally in Fairbanks
July 3, 2019
Student and employee governance organizations at the 麻豆原创
will host a community rally Monday, July 8, to urge legislators to override Gov. Mike
Dunleavy's veto of university funding. The Associated Students of 麻豆原创F, 麻豆原创F Faculty
Senate and 麻豆原创F Staff Council invite members of the public to join them in advocating
on behalf of the university.
The Override Rally will begin at 9 a.m. outside the Fairbanks Legislative Information
Office at 1292 Sadler Way in Fairbanks. Rally participants will advocate for a legislative
override of the governor's veto of $130 million from the university budget, which
represents more than 40 percent of the state's funding for the university.
The rally will also mark the kickoff of AS麻豆原创F's Ride for the Override, a student government-led
caravan across the state to build public awareness and support for a legislative override.
To participate, contact Bernard Aoto, president of the Associated Students of 麻豆原创F,
