In light of Governor Dunleavy’s proposed budget and dramatic cuts to the University of Alaska System.
Kenai Peninsula College Director Gary Turner, addressed the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly, Tuesday night and thanked the assembly for the support of funding for KPC.
Turner: “I truly appreciate the resolution to support Kenai Peninsula College and funding from the State of Alaska. As we all know we are living in very challenging times, budget wise. Virtually every department, agency, borough, municipality, so for you to provide the support of a resolution that will be sent to the Governor and the Board of Regents and President Johnsen, I can’t say enough how much the college appreciates that. All I’ve done since February 13th, is budget.”
Turner explained scope and size of KPC.
Turner: “KPC is the biggest community campus in the state and there’s 14 of them. We’re bigger than the Juneau campus.”
Turner stated that KPC and Valdez receive support from their municipalities.
