A state Senate committee Tuesday voted against recommending confirmation of University of Hawaii Board of Regents interim member and Chair Alapaki Nahale-a for a second term as a regent.
An electronic poll taken this month by the University of Hawaii Professional Assembly showed that University of Hawaii faculty believe more support for research to maintain R1 institution status should be the top priority for the next president.
The findings are relevant as the Board of Regents ramps up its search for a successor to UH President David Lassner, who is retiring at the end of this year after more than a decade leading the 10-campus system.
