Summary
Governor Mike Dunleavy just vetoed a bipartisan-backed bill that would’ve added a faculty member to the University of Alaska’s Board of Regents — a move seen as a smart way to bring real campus experience into governance. Despite strong support from both chambers, Dunleavy raised red flags over potential conflicts of interest and warned it could lead to gridlock. The sponsor, Rep. Ashley Carrick, pushed back, noting existing recusal rules and built-in safeguards against deadlock — and she’s not giving up, planning to reintroduce the bill next year. With 32 vetoes already this session, Dunleavy’s record-setting streak shows he’s not backing down — but the fight for university reform is far from over.
