The Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program has removed the phrase “Alaska Native” from its website. The award-winning University of Alaska program is now referred to simply as its acronym, ANSEP.

Are you a former ANSEP student or staff member? I'm hoping to talk to people today about the removal of "Alaska Native" from ANSEP's website.

Update: I received word that the ANSEP language changes made were made in late Jan. and early Feb., before regents meeting. “Any changes to language on our website or marketing materials will be in an effort to share the openness of our program to all Alaskans regardless of background." - ANSEP

The University of Alaska's Alaska Native Science and Engineering Program has (seemingly) scrubbed most instances of "Alaska Native" on its website. This coincides with the UA Board of Regents voting to get rid of DEI-related language. (Left image is Wayback machine from Jan. 15)

Dipping my toes into Bluesky waters. I’m the city government reporter for Alaska Public Media, where I cover city government, the police department, child care, and other general Anchorage and #AKnews topics. Would love to know who else to follow here.
