The UA system does a lot of unique research. Similar cuts hit (say) UNC or Berkely would be a tragedy too, but a lot of the people and projects could move to Duke or Stanford pretty easily. Not many places have icebreaker research vessels like the RV Sikuliaq, herds of reindeer and muskoxen (UAF's large animal research station), or giant RF transmitters for studying the ionosphere (HAARP--and no, it doesn't control the weather). |

Or your mind. The first time I ever heard of HAARP was a wonky conspiracy theory that it was being used for mind control, purposely dumbing down the masses, no less.
Once I discovered what it actually is, I found it quite interesting.
