Gov. Mike Dunleavy appointed Seth Church, a Fairbanks Republican political activist and business owner, to serve an eight-year term on the board that oversees Alaska’s public universities.
. Asked if he is president of all three, Church said he doesn’t “want to get into the weeds on the different entities there.”
Church previously sat on the board of directors of the Alaska Policy Forum, a conservative advocacy group that has in the past supported large funding cuts to the University of Alaska system. He has contributed tens of thousands of dollars to Republican candidates in Alaska beginning a decade ago, including hundreds to Dunleavy.
Church is the co-owner of an excavation equipment company in Fairbanks, and has experience in real estate construction and management, according to his“The university is a diverse place and diverse opinions and diverse educational backgrounds all can have a positive impact on the university, as long as you have people that are committed to its success,” Church said in a brief phone interview Thursday.
Church said he studied organizational leadership and business management at Beacon University, an online institution, but did not obtain a degree. “I believe that having a different perspective, coming from entrepreneurship, owning and managing employees and these businesses — a majority of them were in the state of Alaska — I think those things helped prepare me for this,” said Church.
