UA WORKS BECAUSE WE DO!

WE ENFORCE OUR CONTRACT AND FIGHT FOR OUR MEMBERS' RIGHTS.

We defend diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility in the University of Alaska system.

On April 12, 2025, our United Academics Representative Assembly passed the following motion in support of legislation that would add a faculty member to the UA Board of Regents:  

In the interest of improving communication, University governance, and accountability, United Academics supports establishing a faculty regent position on the University of Alaska Board of Regents and supports HB10 and SB118.

UNAC members did not support the Board of Regents' hasty decision to ban public-facing mention of diversity, equity, inclusion, and "other associated terms." On March 10, 2025, United Academics leadership delivered a petition to the University of Alaska Board of Regents in response to their February 21, 2025 anti-DEI Motion. Our petition was signed by 356 United Academics members. To date, no board member has responded to the petition.

We improve working and learning conditions throughout the UA system.
