<p class="MsoNormal">Alaska is reviewing job classes that currently require a 4-year degree to assess which classes are most suitable for competency based MQs. We have been converting select job classes to comp based MQs for the last couple of years, but an
Executive Order issued by our Governor in February is driving a larger scale effort to convert as many classes as feasible.
<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/ohL9CVOj2QimQ6z4SG0rr8?domain=gov.alaska.gov/">Administrative Order No. 343 - Mike Dunleavy (alaska.gov)</a> Agencies have been asked to identify priority job classes for conversion as we get this effort moving.

<p>Hi Bill – <o:p></o:p></p>
<p> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p>We have no mandate yet although there are discussions in both our legislature and the administration. We actively advocate with our hiring managers to include work experience only options in lieu of or in addition to options that include postsecondary degrees.
Since you are doing this research you probably have run across both of these resources but for others who may not have the 2017 article “Dismissed by degrees”
<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/WgPvC68Nx9U7wvZ3ivxScP?domain=urldefense.com" target="_blank">
published by the Harvard Business School</a> originally coined the term “degree inflation” and it's probably the genesis for many of these efforts. More recently the same group published the
