They identified unique problems in Alaska related to the definition of tribes and the consent required for contracts. The Act aims to allow tribes to control and administer federal programs, and the study was conducted to provide information for the Alaska Federation of Natives to address these issues. The Act provides a means for tribes to contract BIA and IHS programs, and the study highlighted Alaska's experience with federal programs serving Alaska Natives. Regional Native leaders and program administrators supported Native participation and regionalization of program delivery.

This has resulted in economic impacts on institutions, as they must comply with various federal programs and reporting requirements. There are concerns about threats to academic freedom, as well as the financial burden of federal regulations on colleges and universities. The burden falls on Congress to ensure that future legislation minimizes economic impact on higher education, and greater consultation with the higher education community is needed before enacting new regulations. Ultimately, higher education must establish self-regulation to ensure that federal funds are being efficiently spent and national goals are being achieved.
