Every time I see a comment like this, I wonder if the ADN is going to send a bill out from its advertising department.  Anyway, "put this in your pipe and smoke it": last I checked, the University of Alaska feels that the state constitution gives them the authority to exist in their own little world.  This includes disregarding the results of the election two years ago, which is really more about fear of losing federal monies than anything else.  So why would the board hold a meeting at UAA?  If they shun you, you need to shun them.
