text: And in other news : How many expense paid trips do UAA sports teams plan to Hawaii this year ? How many sports trips outside will UAA take this year ?   Clearly the U of A system doesn't care about the state budget and saving the state money.  If they did they'd cut all travel and eliminate campuses on every street corner in a number of towns across Alaska . How is the U of A school helped by paying to send sports teams outside ?  They even refuse the cost savings that would come from putting the U of A administration in one location.   And what the heck is UAA doing still putting on a Shootout when so few care about it anymore ?  The U of A will never make the needed cuts as long as they can sucker legislators into giving them excessive money .
