Alaska is far below national averages in the number of students who go to college, and yet employers say they lack skilled workers. University of Alaska Anchorage Chancellor Tom Case and other UAA leaders address the challenges facing a school with lots of shiny new structures but a serious budget gap, and a community that needs more successful graduates.
