text: My point more clearly is this: The UA system is expensive and not doing a good job of preparing the future workforce, 4 (and 6) year graduation rates by college: UAF, 15% (43%); UAA, 8% (29%); UAS, 4% (15.6%) . 
  
  Comparing apples to apples, the national average for public university six year graduation rate is 60%, I can't find the six year graduation rate for the UA system as a whole but weighting those six year graduation rates against full time student enrollment my best guess is its around 32%, or half the national average for public universities.
  
  The University system is too big, it admits too many students and objectively is failing at educating them. So far, the University's solution has been to pass on more costs to their students, which no doubt will drive graduation rates lower and increase the number of Alaskans that are servicing student debt without a degree. 
  
  The faculty senate passing a no confidence vote is pointing fingers everywhere but at themselves.
