The goal of the 1986-1991 University of Alaska (UA) System Six-Year Plan is to serve as the foundation for a restructured and revitalized university system sensitive to the changing needs of the people of Alaska. Such a university system can be attained only in an environment of understanding and cooperation, where the needs of all residents are addressed through a unified, coordinated system of universities, rural colleges, and service programs. The Six-Year Plan embodies the belief that the above can be attained through a more unified and effective system that provides a sound framework in which the special missions of each UA institution can be pursued. It can only be attained if adequate educational master planning occurs. Following a statement of the problem, the focus is on: methodology (designing the survey and defining survey population, delimiting action support factors, and data analysis); results and summary (the 15 actions making the most progress, the 15 actions making the least progress, actions cited most frequently as no longer relevant, actions with the largest or smallest standard deviation, actions with the largest or smallest response rates, and action rating differences); and assessment statistics on actions (table key and definition of terms used, and detailed action tables). Two appendices are: (1) a chronology of UA restructuring activities 1986-88; and (2) six-year plan survey. Fourteen figures and 31 pages of graphs and tables are included. Contains 147 references in 2 bibliographies. (SM)
