The Associated Students of the University of Alaska Fairbanks, or ASUAF, has been advocating for UAF students for the past 102 years. Fernando Escobar, Director of Student Public Relations and Advocacy, recently sat down with The Sun Star to share updates on the organization’s achievements, ongoing projects, and how students can get involved in UAF’s student government.

The Faculty Senate at UAF passes a motion complicating the process of adding classes and student government intends to challenge it.

Perhaps a prudent way to introduce this report is to give a brief overview of the governing structure of UAF and the UA system as a whole. The program has seen a massive interest since its conception, and the university –in partnership with the school board– is looking to expand the program to make it available to more students.
