The new Chair of the Senate Higher Education is Brian Taniguchi in whose district is the Manoa campus. A long-time legislator, he is also an attorney – and accessible. I suggest that those who are concerned about the future of the University System and its costs take some time to talk to Senator Taniguchi.
Another critical move would be to set up a series of community meetings at all ten campuses. The definition of community? It’s not just faculty, staff and students.
With respect to salaries as well as the number of administrators, that is something worth examining.
