Juneau, Alaska (KINY) – Jun. 30 was Karen Carey’s last day as Chancellor for the University of Alaska Southeast (UAS).
An open house was held in the Chancellor’s Suite Friday afternoon to wish her farewell with light refreshments.
“A real honor to be the chancellor at UAS. I am going to greatly miss this campus and all the great people that I’ve gotten to know. I am so pleased that we hired Aparna Palmer as the new chancellor. She’s going to be just great,” Carey said. “I’ve had the last two weeks to overlap with her and she’s learning quickly and I think UAS is going to be in good hands. I’m going to remain in Juneau because I love it here so much. People will see me at UAS and I’ll be busy supporting anything I can here at the campus.”
Carey said she’ll continue to cheer on UAS on the sidelines.
“I will be coming to a lot of their events. I certainly will continue to donate to the campus for scholarships and that sort of thing,” she said. “Probably continue on the Alumni and Friends board. So, being involved wherever I can be and wherever they might need me.”
Carey shared how she plans to use her new free time.
“I plan to do a lot more walking with my dogs. I’m going to miss this campus so much because of the beautiful sight this campus is on. So, I’ll probably be coming over here and wandering the halls,” she laughed.
She left a final, heartfelt message to her students.
“The students at UAS are amazing. They’re kind, they’re sweet; they work so hard to accomplish their goals,” Carey stated. “We are always here for them and I just hope that they’re all successful. If they ever see me around or need help, I’m always happy to help them.”

An organization of communities in Alaska’s far north sued the Bureau of Land Management Friday over a rule they said “turns a petroleum reserve into millions of acres of de facto wilderness.”
The lawsuit appears to be one of the first to be filed under the Administrative Procedure Act in the wake of the US Supreme Court’s Loper Bright decision dismantling the Chevron doctrine.
Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat alleges that BLM’s “NPR-A Rule” forbids oil and gas development in 10.6 million acres of Alaska, and effectively ends any further leasing and development in an additional 13.1 million acres.
The rule is “directly contrary” to Congress’s purpose in creating the Natural Petroleum Reserve in Alaska—to further oil and gas exploration and development, Voice said in its complaint filed in the US District Court for the District of Alaska. BLM “disingenuously” claims that the rule “speaks for Alaska Natives,” the group said.
The rule violates several federal laws, including the Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the Federal Land Policy and Management Act of 1976. It is therefore arbitrary and capricious under the APA, the complaint says.
Voice is represented by Ashburn & Mason P.C.
The case is Voice of the Arctic Iñupiat v. Bureau of Land Mgmt., D. Alaska, No. 24-136, complaint filed 6/28/24.
