Land Sales

Land Management's Mission is to support University of Alaska higher education through Land Grant Trust asset revenue generation. This revenue generation is the sale of University owned land through its land sale program. UA Board of Regents' policy requires that disposal of UA land be at or above Fair Market Value.
